Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk_iocost: fix more out of bound shifts
Recently running UBSAN caught few out of bound shifts in the
ioc_forgive_debts() function:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in block/blk-iocost.c:2142:38
shift exponent 80 is too large for 64-bit type 'u64' (aka 'unsigned long
long')
...
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in block/blk-iocost.c:2144:30
shift exponent 80 is too large for 64-bit type 'u64' (aka 'unsigned long
long')
...

Actual impact of this issue was not identified but I propose to fix the
undefined behaviour.
The proposed fix to prevent those out of bound shifts consist of
precalculating exponent before using it the shift operations by taking
min value from the actual exponent and maximum possible number of bits.
