Subject: [PATCH rdma-next 08/12] overflow.h: Add arithmetic shift helper

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2018 11:23:49 +0300

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email-masked]>

Add shift_overflow() helper to help driver authors to ensure that
shift operand doesn't cause to overflow, which is very common pattern
for RDMA drivers.
