[ Upstream commit 658a52344f ]
The maximum value of flexbg_size is 2^31, but the maximum value of int
is (2^31 - 1), so overflow may occur when the type of flexbg_size is
declared as int.
For example, when uninit_mask is initialized in ext4_alloc_group_tables(),
if flexbg_size == 2^31, the initialized uninit_mask is incorrect, and this
may causes set_flexbg_block_bitmap() to trigger a BUG_ON().
Therefore, the flexbg_size type is declared as unsigned int to avoid
overflow and memory waste.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
