Subject: [PATCH 43/44] net/netlink: Use umin() to avoid min_t(int, ...) discarding high bits
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 22:41:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119224140.8616-44-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119224140.8616-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

The scan limit in genl_allocate_reserve_groups() is:
	min_t(int, id + n_groups, mc_groups_longs * BITS_PER_LONG);
While 'id' and 'n_groups' are both 'int', 'mc_groups_longs' is
'unsigned long' (BITS_PER_LONG is 'int').
These inconsistent types (all the values are small and non-negative)
means that a simple min() fails.

When checks for masking high bits are added to min_t() that also fails.
Instead use umin() so safely convert all the values to unsigned.

Move the limit calculation outside the loop for efficiency and
readability.
