[PATCH v2] bitops: Avoid integer overflow in GENMASK(_ULL)

From: Matthias Kaehlcke
Date: Thu Aug 03 2017 - 17:20:49 EST


GENMASK(_ULL) performs a left-shift of ~0UL(L), which technically
results in an integer overflow. clang raises a warning if the overflow
occurs in a preprocessor expression. Clear the low-order bits through
a substraction instead of the left-shift to avoid the overflow.

Changes in v2:
- use substraction instead of left-shift, get rid off odd right-shift
- also change GENMASK
- updated commit message
