Ryusuke Konishi a3fd1a14dd nilfs2: avoid undefined behavior in nilfs_cnt32_ge macro
[ Upstream commit 0f3819e8c4 ]

According to the C standard 3.4.3p3, the result of signed integer overflow
is undefined.  The macro nilfs_cnt32_ge(), which compares two sequence
numbers, uses signed integer subtraction that can overflow, and therefore
the result of the calculation may differ from what is expected due to
undefined behavior in different environments.

Similar to an earlier change to the jiffies-related comparison macros in
commit 5a581b367b ("jiffies: Avoid undefined behavior from signed
overflow"), avoid this potential issue by changing the definition of the
macro to perform the subtraction as unsigned integers, then cast the
result to a signed integer for comparison.

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.
