Subject: malloc: ensure set_max_fast never stores zero [BZ #25733]
The code for set_max_fast() stores an "impossibly small value"
instead of zero, when the parameter is zero. However, for
small values of the parameter (ex: 1 or 2) the computation
results in a zero being stored anyway.
This patch checks for the parameter being small enough for the
computation to result in zero instead, so that a zero is never
stored.
key values which result in zero being stored:
x86-64: 1..7 (or other 64-bit)
i686: 1..11
armhfp: 1..3 (or other 32-bit)
