Subject: [PATCH] lib/test_hmm.c: fix harmless shift wrapping bug
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2021 14:43:16 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YFCZ1NNfMoixOjWP@mwanda> (raw)

The "cmd.npages" variable is a u64 that comes from the user.  I noticed
during review that it could have a shift wrapping bug when it is used
in the integer overflow test on the next line.

It turns out this is harmless.  The users all do:

	unsigned long size = cmd->npages << PAGE_SHIFT;

and after that "size" is used consistently and "cmd->npages" is never
used again.  So even when there is an integer overflow, everything works
fine.

Even though this is harmless, I believe syzbot will complain and fixing
it makes the code easier to read.

Fixes: b2ef9f5a5cb3 ("mm/hmm/test: add selftest driver for HMM")
