The static checkers (Smatch) were complaining because QuadAlign() was buggy. If you try to align something higher than UINT_MAX it got truncated to a u32. Smatch warning was: fs/ntfs3/attrib.c:383 attr_set_size_res() warn: was expecting a 64 bit value instead of '~7' So that this will not happen again we will change all these macros to kernel made ones. This can also help some other static analyzing tools to give us better warnings. Patch was generated with Coccinelle script and after that some style issue was hand fixed.

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.
