Subject: [PATCH 30/44] fs: use min() or umin() instead of min_t()
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 22:41:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119224140.8616-31-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119224140.8616-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
min_t(unsigned int, a, b) casts an 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned int'.
Use min(a, b) instead as it promotes any 'unsigned int' to 'unsigned long'
and so cannot discard significant bits.
A couple of places need umin() because of loops like:
nfolios = DIV_ROUND_UP(ret + start, PAGE_SIZE);
for (i = 0; i < nfolios; i++) {
struct folio *folio = page_folio(pages[i]);
...
unsigned int len = umin(ret, PAGE_SIZE - start);
...
ret -= len;
...
}
where the compiler doesn't track things well enough to know that
'ret' is never negative.
The alternate loop:
for (i = 0; ret > 0; i++) {
struct folio *folio = page_folio(pages[i]);
...
unsigned int len = min(ret, PAGE_SIZE - start);
...
ret -= len;
...
}
would be equivalent and doesn't need 'nfolios'.
Most of the 'unsigned long' actually come from PAGE_SIZE.
Detected by an extra check added to min_t().
