Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fscrypt: fix left shift underflow when inode->i_blkbits > PAGE_SHIFT
When simulating an nvme device on qemu with both logical_block_size and physical_block_size set to 8 KiB, an error trace appears during partition table reading at boot time. The issue is caused by inode->i_blkbits being larger than PAGE_SHIFT, which leads to a left shift of -1 and triggering a UBSAN warning.

This situation can happen for block devices because when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled, the maximum logical_block_size is 64 KiB. set_init_blocksize() then sets the block device inode->i_blkbits to 13, which is within this limit.
File I/O does not trigger this problem because for filesystems that do not support the FS_LBS feature, sb_set_blocksize() prevents sb->s_blocksize_bits from being larger than PAGE_SHIFT. During inode allocation, alloc_inode()->inode_init_always() assigns inode->i_blkbits from sb->s_blocksize_bits. Currently, only xfs_fs_type has the FS_LBS flag, and since xfs I/O paths do not reach submit_bh_wbc(), it does not hit the left-shift underflow issue.
