Subject: [PATCH 06/44] bpf: Verifier, remove some unusual uses of min_t() and max_t()
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 22:41:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119224140.8616-7-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() and max_t() are normally used to change the signedness
of a positive value to avoid a signed-v-unsigned compare warning.
However they are used here to convert an unsigned 64bit pattern
to a signed to a 32/64bit signed number.
To avoid any confusion use plain min()/max() and explicitely cast
the u64 expression to the correct signed value.
Use a simple max() for the max_pkt_offset calulation and delete the
comment about why the cast to u32 is safe.
