This is a Smatch warning.

I normally look over Smatch warnings before forwarding kbuild-bot emails
but this email is a grab bag of static checker warnings from different
tools.

This warning has a high rate of false positives so I'm going to disable
it by default.

The heuristic is that "inode->i_blocks" is a u64 but this .config must
be for a 32bit CPU.

I'm just going to turn off all these warnings until I can figure out a
better heuristic.
