Subject: [PATCH] lib/test_hmm.c: fix harmless shift wrapping bug
The "cmd.npages" variable is a u64 that comes from the user. I noticed
during review that it could have a shift wrapping bug when it is used
in the integer overflow test on the next line.
It turns out this is harmless. The users all do:
unsigned long size = cmd->npages << PAGE_SHIFT;
and after that "size" is used consistently and "cmd->npages" is never
used again. So even when there is an integer overflow, everything works
fine.
Even though this is harmless, I believe syzbot will complain and fixing
it makes the code easier to read.
Fixes: b2ef9f5a5cb3 ("mm/hmm/test: add selftest driver for HMM")
