Subject: [PATCH] genirq: __setup_irq(): fix type of literal 1 in shift
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2017 22:35:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171030213548.16831-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> (raw)
If we ever get a value >= 31 from ffz(), we'd be invoking UB; in the >
31 case, probably assigning the same thread_mask to to multiple
irqactions (at least on x86_64, where the shift count is implicitly
truncated to 5 bits).
In practice, I think the bug is mostly harmless, since when we first
get ffz == 31, the RHS is - ignoring UB - (int)(0x80000000), and
sign-extension means that the 32nd irqaction just ends up eating the
top 33 bits of thread_mask, so all subsequent __setup_irq calls would
just end up hitting the -EBUSY branch. (AFAICT, no code seems to rely
on ->thread_mask being a single bit; it's all whole-sale |= and &=).
However, a sufficiently aggressive optimizer may use the UB of 1<<31
to decide that doesn't happen, and hence elide the sign-extension
code, so that subsequent calls can indeed get ffz > 31. In any case,
this is the right thing to do.
