[PATCH net v3 0/3] Modify overflow detection, expand ivec->name, and correct type in min_t

[PATCH net v3 0/3] Modify overflow detection, expand ivec->name, and correct type in min_t

[Justin Lai]

This patch set mainly involves fixing the kernel test
robot issue and the type error in min_t.
Details are as follows:
1. Modify the condition used to detect overflow in
rtase_calc_time_mitigation
2. Increase the size of ivec->name
3. Fix a type error in min_t

v1 -> v2:
- Nothing has changed, and it is simply being posted again because the
initial version was posted incompletely.

v2 -> v3:
- Modify the subjects of the cover letter and the patches.

Justin Lai (3):
  rtase: Modify the condition used to detect overflow in
    rtase_calc_time_mitigation
  rtase: Increase the size of ivec->name
  rtase: Fix a type error in min_t

Hi Justin,

Given that the type of i is u16, it's theoretical range of values is [0, 65536].
(I expect that in practice the range is significantly smaller.)

So the string representation of i should fit in the minumum of 7 bytes available
(only a maximum of 5 are needed).

And I do notice that newer compilers do not seem to warn about this.

So I don't really think this needs updating.
And if so, certainly not as a fix for 'net'.

Also, as an aside, as i is unsigned, the format specifier really ought
to be %u instead of %i. Not that it seems to make any difference here
given the range of values discussed above.

Hi Justin,

FWIIW, I note that this problem is reported by GCC 7.5.0 on sparc64 but not
by GCC 14.2.0. And I think that is because in the end the values passed to
u16_encode_bits (line 1915 in the trace above) are the same with and
without this patch. That is to say, this the compiler error above is a
false positive of sorts.

But I believe GCC 7.5.0 is a supported compiler version for sparc64.
And this does result in an error, without W=1 or any other extra KCFLAGS
set. So I agree this is appropriate to treat as a fix for net.

And in any case, fix or no fix, it seems nice to limit the scope of
the initialisation of msb.

Hi Justin, Andrew, David, all,

I may be on the wrong track here, but near the top of minmax.h I see:

/*
 * min()/max()/clamp() macros must accomplish several things:
 *
 * - Avoid multiple evaluations of the arguments (so side-effects like
 *   "x++" happen only once) when non-constant.
 * - Perform signed v unsigned type-checking (to generate compile
 *   errors instead of nasty runtime surprises).
 * - Unsigned char/short are always promoted to signed int and can be
 *   compared against signed or unsigned arguments.
 * - Unsigned arguments can be compared against non-negative signed constants.
 * - Comparison of a signed argument against an unsigned constant fails
 *   even if the constant is below __INT_MAX__ and could be cast to int.
 */

So, considering the 2nd last point, I think we can simply use min()
both above and below. Which would avoid the possibility of
casting to the wrong type again in future.

Also, aside from which call is correct. Please add some colour
to the commit message describing why this is a bug if it is
to be treated as a fix for net rather than a clean-up for net-next.

Hi Simon,

According to a more detailed clarification, this part is actually an
enhancement and does not cause any issues during operation, so it is
not a real bug. Therefore, I will post this patch in net-next.

Hi Simon,

Thank you for your reply. I will modify the format specifier to %u.
Since the warning from the kernel test robot is a false positive, I
will not address this warning, meaning I will not increase the size
of ivec->name. This patch will be posted to net-next.

Thanks,
Justin

Thanks. Please do consider using min() instead of min_t() when you post the

Indeed.
Using min_t(u16,...) is entirely an 'accident waiting to happen'.
If you are going to cast all the arguments to a function you really
better ensure the type is big enough for all the arguments.
The fact that one is 'u16' in no way indicates that casting the
other(s) won't discard high significant bits.
(and if you want a u16 result it is entirely wrong.)

In this case i don't understand the code at all.
The function is static and is only called once with a compile-time
constant value.
So, AFIACT, should reduce to a compile time constant.

There is also the entire 'issue' of using u16 variables at all.
You might want u16 structure members (to save space or map hardware)
but for local variables they are only likely to increase code size.

So a definite NAK on that change.

Hi David,

The boundary protection mechanism is in place to preserve potential
future scalability. I have modified the code to use min instead of
min_t and have posted it to net-next.

Thanks,
