Subject: [PATCH 3.12 090/101] inetdevice: fixed signed integer overflow

From: Vincent BENAYOUN <vincent.benayoun@...st-in-soft.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 84bc88688e3f6ef843aa8803dbcd90168bb89faf ]

There could be a signed overflow in the following code.

The expression, (32-logmask) is comprised between 0 and 31 included.
It may be equal to 31.
In such a case the left shift will produce a signed integer overflow.
According to the C99 Standard, this is an undefined behavior.
A simple fix is to replace the signed int 1 with the unsigned int 1U.
