In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-iocost: avoid out of bounds shift
UBSAN catches undefined behavior in blk-iocost, where sometimes iocg->delay is shifted right by a number that is too large, resulting in undefined behavior on some architectures.

Avoid that undefined behavior by simply taking the "delay = 0" branch if the shift is too large.
I am not sure what the symptoms of an undefined value delay will be, but I suspect it could be more than a little annoying to debug.
