Subject[PATCH RFC 1/3] pipe: avoid round_pipe_size() nr_pages overflow on 32-bit
Date
The round_pipe_size() function contains a right-bit-shift expression
which may overflow, which would cause undefined results in a subsequent
roundup_pow_of_two() call.

static inline unsigned int round_pipe_size(unsigned int size)
{
unsigned long nr_pages;

nr_pages = (size + PAGE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
return roundup_pow_of_two(nr_pages) << PAGE_SHIFT;
}

PAGE_SIZE is defined as (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT), so:
- 4 bytes wide on 32-bit (0 to 0xffffffff)
- 8 bytes wide on 64-bit (0 to 0xffffffffffffffff)

That means that 32-bit round_pipe_size(), nr_pages may overflow to 0:

size=0x00000000 nr_pages=0x0
size=0x00000001 nr_pages=0x1
size=0xfffff000 nr_pages=0xfffff
size=0xfffff001 nr_pages=0x0 << !
size=0xffffffff nr_pages=0x0 << !

This is bad because roundup_pow_of_two(n) is undefined when n == 0!

64-bit is not a problem* as the unsigned int size is 4 bytes wide
(similar to 32-bit) and the larger, 8 byte wide unsigned long, is
sufficient to handle the largest value of the bit shift expression:

size=0xffffffff nr_pages=100000

(*On 64-bit, round_pipe_size(0xffffffff) will later overflow when the
result of roundup_pow_of_two(0x100000) is shifted left by PAGE_SHIFT.
This behavior is at least defined by the language, so callers can safely
sanity-check a 0 return value from round_pipe_size.)

Modify round_pipe_size() to return 0 if n == 0, reset the original
pipe_max_size value, and update callers to handle accordingly.
