Subject: mm/page-writeback: fix dirty_ratelimit calculation
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d59b1087a98e402ed9a7cc577f4da435f9a555f5;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

mm/page-writeback: fix dirty_ratelimit calculation

Calculation of dirty_ratelimit sometimes is not correct.  E.g.  initial
values of dirty_ratelimit == INIT_BW and step == 0, lead to the
following result:

   UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ../mm/page-writeback.c:1286:7
   shift exponent 25600 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int'

The fix is straightforward - make step 0 if the shift exponent is too
big.
