sb_mac() verifies that the superblock + MAC don't exceed 512 bytes. Because the superblock is currently 64 bytes, this really verifies mac_size <= 448. This confuses smatch into thinking that mac_size may be as large as 448, which is inconsistent with the later code that assumes the MAC fits in a buffer of size HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE (64). In fact mac_size <= HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE is guaranteed by the crypto API, as that is the whole point of HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE. But, let's be defensive and explicitly check for this. This suppresses the false positive smatch warning. It does not fix an actual bug.

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 reStructuredText 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.
