From 60c672b7f2d1e5dd1774f2399b355c9314e709f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kemeng Shi Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2023 22:31:56 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: avoid potential data overflow in next_linear_group ngroups is ext4_group_t (unsigned int) while next_linear_group treat it in int. If ngroups is bigger than max number described by int, it will be treat as a negative number. Then "return group + 1 >= ngroups ? 0 : group + 1;" may keep returning 0. Switch int to ext4_group_t in next_linear_group to fix the overflow.
