[ Upstream commit 713a85195aad25d8a26786a37b674e3e5ec09e3c ]
Small unsigned types are promoted to larger signed types in
the case of multiplication, the result of which may overflow.
In case the result of such a multiplication has its MSB
turned on, it will be sign extended with '1's.
This changes the multiplication result.
Code example of the phenomenon:
-------------------------------
u16 x, y;
size_t z1, z2;
x = y = 0xffff;
printk("x=%x y=%x\n",x,y);
z1 = x*y;
z2 = (size_t)x*y;
printk("z1=%lx z2=%lx\n", z1, z2);
Output:
-------
x=ffff y=ffff
z1=fffffffffffe0001 z2=fffe0001
The expected result of ffff*ffff is fffe0001, and without the
explicit casting to avoid the unwanted sign extension we got
fffffffffffe0001.
This commit adds an explicit casting to avoid the sign extension
issue.

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.
