[LTP] [PATCH v9 1/2] lib: Extend tst_assert_ulong() with enum flags

[Wei Gao via ltp]

Introduce enum tst_assert_flags (including TST_ASSERT_NONE,
TST_ASSERT_SATURATED_INT, and TST_ASSERT_TRUNC_32BIT) to
tst_assert_ulong(). This enables type-safe handling of 32-bit
compat-mode truncation and clamping behaviors on 64-bit kernels
when verifying sysfs/procfs limits.

[LTP] [PATCH v9 2/2] shmctl03: Fix 32-bit compat mode failure

[Wei Gao via ltp]

On 64-bit kernels, the default shmmax and shmall values often exceed
the range of a 32-bit unsigned long or are clipped differently by
the kernel's compat syscall layer than they appear in /proc.

Fix this by utilizing the new TST_ASSERT_ULONG() flags to properly
clamp and truncate the expected values under compat mode.

The modified public TST_ASSERT_ULONG() macro needs a kernel-doc comment
documenting its optional flags argument.

Verdict - Needs revision

nit: I'd use "Bitwise flags" as you write below.

IMHO TST_ASSERT_NONE is overkill, I'd just use 0. But others might have a
different opinion.

> +	TST_ASSERT_SATURATED_INT = 0x01,

Also, I'd use decimal numbers instead of hexadecimal when we have just 3 values
(specially 0x00 looks really strange).

The rest LGTM.

Obviously correct (with the fact I already noted, that I'd use 0 instead adding
TST_ASSERT_NONE into enum).

The continuation indentation uses spaces and fails scripts/checkpatch.pl.
Align these lines with tabs, as in the surrounding declarations.

TST_ASSERT_ULONG is a modified public macro but lacks the required
kernel-doc comment. Please document its optional flags argument and the
zero-flags default at the macro itself.
