Subject: [PATCH] [v2] jfs: avoid -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare warning
Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2026 21:43:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260202204351.2174384-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
A recent change for the range check started triggering a clang warning:
fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:2906:31: error: result of comparison of constant 128 with expression of type 's8' (aka 'signed char') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
2906 | if (stbl[i] < 0 || stbl[i] >= DTPAGEMAXSLOT) {
| ~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:3111:30: error: result of comparison of constant 128 with expression of type 's8' (aka 'signed char') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
3111 | if (stbl[0] < 0 || stbl[0] >= DTPAGEMAXSLOT) {
| ~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both the old and the new check were useless, but the previous version
apparently did not lead to the warning.
Remove the extraneous range check for simplicity.
Fixes: cafc6679824a ("jfs: replace hardcoded magic number with DTPAGEMAXSLOT constant")
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

v2: drop the check instead of shutting up the warning
