lib: proportion: lower PROP_MAX_SHIFT to 32 on 64-bit kernel
PROP_MAX_SHIFT should be set to <=32 on 64-bit box. This fixes two bugs in the below lines of bdi_dirty_limit(): bdi_dirty *= numerator; do_div(bdi_dirty, denominator); 1) divide error: do_div() only uses the lower 32 bit of the denominator, which may trimmed to be 0 when PROP_MAX_SHIFT > 32. 2) overflow: (bdi_dirty * numerator) could easily overflow if numerator used up to 48 bits, leaving only 16 bits to bdi_dirty Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Reported-by: NIlya Tumaykin <librarian_rus@yahoo.com> Tested-by: NIlya Tumaykin <librarian_rus@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: NWu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>
