Subject: [PATCH 6.18 3/4] dm-verity-fec: replace {MAX,MIN}_RSN with {MIN,MAX}_ROOTS
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 22:19:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729051909.62106-4-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729051909.62106-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
commit 82fbd6a3e29a329d439690cd7ccc4162c9cd8db6 upstream.
Every time DM_VERITY_FEC_{MAX,MIN}_RSN are used, they are subtracted
from DM_VERITY_FEC_RSM to get the bounds on the number of roots.
Therefore, replace these with {MIN,MAX}_ROOTS constants which are more
directly useful. (Note the inversion, where MAX_RSN maps to MIN_ROOTS
and MIN_RSN maps to MAX_ROOTS.) No functional change.
