Subject: [PATCH v1 v6.12.y] nfsd: Replace clamp_t in nfsd4_get_drc_mem()
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 16:19:22 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251114211922.6312-1-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>
A recent change to clamp_t() in 6.1.y caused fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c to fail
to compile with gcc-9. The code in nfsd4_get_drc_mem() was written with
the assumption that when "max < min",
clamp(val, min, max)
would return max. This assumption is not documented as an API promise
and the change caused a compile failure if it could be statically
determined that "max < min".
The relevant code was no longer present upstream when commit 1519fbc8832b
("minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for the lo < hi test in clamp()")
landed there, so there is no upstream change to nfsd4_get_drc_mem() to
backport.
There is no clear case that the existing code in nfsd4_get_drc_mem()
is functioning incorrectly. The goal of this patch is to permit the clean
application of commit 1519fbc8832b ("minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for
the lo < hi test in clamp()"), and any commits that depend on it, to LTS
kernels without affecting the ability to compile those kernels. This is
done by open-coding the __clamp() macro sans the built-in type checking.
Closes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220745#c0

Changes since Neil's post:
* Editorial changes to the commit message
* Attempt to address David's review comments
* Applied to linux-6.12.y, passed NFSD upstream CI suite
This patch is intended to be applied to linux-6.12.y, and should
apply cleanly to other LTS kernels since nfsd4_get_drc_mem hasn't
changed since v5.4.
