The number of bits, nbits, is calculated in mpi_read_raw_from_sgl() as follows: nbits = nbytes * 8; Afterwards, the number of leading zero bits of the first byte get subtracted: nbits -= count_leading_zeros(*(u8 *)(sg_virt(sgl) + lzeros)); However, count_leading_zeros() takes an unsigned long and thus, the u8 gets promoted to an unsigned long. Thus, the above doesn't subtract the number of leading zeros in the most significant nonzero input byte from nbits, but the number of leading zeros of the most significant nonzero input byte promoted to unsigned long, i.e. BITS_PER_LONG - 8 too many. Fix this by subtracting count_leading_zeros(...) - (BITS_PER_LONG - 8) from nbits only.
