Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] platform/x86: hp-wmi: fix u8 underflow in gpu_delta calculation
Date: Sun,  5 Apr 2026 17:44:59 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260405144502.24944-5-emreleno@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260405144502.24944-1-emreleno@gmail.com>

gpu_delta was declared as u8. If the firmware specifies a GPU RPM
lower than the CPU RPM, subtracting them causes an underflow
(e.g. 10 - 20 = 246), which forces the GPU fan to remain clamped at
U8_MAX (100% speed) during operation.

Change gpu_delta to int and use signed arithmetic. Existing signed logic
in hp_wmi_fan_speed_set() correctly handles negative deltas.

Fixes: 46be1453e6e6 ("platform/x86: hp-wmi: add manual fan control for Victus S models")

Changes in v2:
- Drop the if (gpu_delta < 0) guard and pr_warn. A negative delta is
  valid firmware behavior on boards where CPU_RPM > GPU_RPM. Store
  gpu_delta as int in struct hp_wmi_hwmon_priv so the existing signed
  arithmetic and clamp_val() in hp_wmi_fan_speed_set() handle the
  negative case correctly without saturating at U8_MAX.

Changes in v3:
- Removed unnecessary explicit (int) casts. C's integer promotion rules
  already convert u8 operands to int for arithmetic; the fix only
  requires storing the result in an int variable.
