[ Upstream commit 658a52344fb139f9531e7543a6e0015b630feb38 ] The maximum value of flexbg_size is 2^31, but the maximum value of int is (2^31 - 1), so overflow may occur when the type of flexbg_size is declared as int. For example, when uninit_mask is initialized in ext4_alloc_group_tables(), if flexbg_size == 2^31, the initialized uninit_mask is incorrect, and this may causes set_flexbg_block_bitmap() to trigger a BUG_ON(). Therefore, the flexbg_size type is declared as unsigned int to avoid overflow and memory waste.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
