mm/compaction.c: fix an undefined behaviour
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit dd7ef7b ]

In a low-memory situation, cc->fast_search_fail can keep increasing as it
is unable to find an available page to isolate in
fast_isolate_freepages().  As the result, it could trigger an error below,
so just compare with the maximum bits can be shifted first.

UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in mm/compaction.c:1160:30
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'unsigned long'
