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 commit5a581b367b("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 reStructuredText 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.
