Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add shift_overflow() helper to assist driver authors in ensuring that
shift operations don't cause overflows or other odd conditions.

/** check_shl_overflow() - Calculate a left-shifted value and check overflow
*
* @a: Value to be shifted
* @s: How many bits left to shift
* @d: Pointer to where to store the result
*
* Computes *@d = (@a << @s)
*
* Returns true if '*d' cannot hold the result or when 'a << s' doesn't
* make sense. Example conditions:
* - 'a << s' causes bits to be lost when stored in *d.
* - 's' is garbage (e.g. negative) or so large that the result of
* 'a << s' is guaranteed to be 0.
* - 'a' is negative.
* - 'a << s' sets the sign bit, if any, in '*d'.
*
* '*d' will hold the results of the attempted shift, but is not
* considered "safe for use" if false is returned.
