As far as I can tell, any overflow has happened long before, in bitmap_size = DIV_ROUND_UP(sbi->s_num_blocks, 8); where 'sbi->s_num_blocks' i san u64, and 'bitmap_size' is an 'int'. I don't think the patch is necessarily a bad thing, but I think it might be more important to sanity-check that part instead.
