Subject: [PATCH 3.2 056/110] crush: fix a bug in tree bucket decode

3.2.71-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@...il.com>

commit 82cd003a77173c91b9acad8033fb7931dac8d751 upstream.

struct crush_bucket_tree::num_nodes is u8, so ceph_decode_8_safe()
should be used.  -Wconversion catches this, but I guess it went
unnoticed in all the noise it spews.  The actual problem (at least for
common crushmaps) isn't the u32 -> u8 truncation though - it's the
advancement by 4 bytes instead of 1 in the crushmap buffer.

Fixes: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/2759
