Subject: [PATCH 6.6 69/70] minmax: add a few more MIN_T/MAX_T users
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 21:30:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250922192406.465515147@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250922192404.455120315@linuxfoundation.org>

6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

[ Upstream commit 4477b39c32fdc03363affef4b11d48391e6dc9ff ]

Commit 3a7e02c040b1 ("minmax: avoid overly complicated constant
expressions in VM code") added the simpler MIN_T/MAX_T macros in order
to avoid some excessive expansion from the rather complicated regular
min/max macros.

The complexity of those macros stems from two issues:

 (a) trying to use them in situations that require a C constant
     expression (in static initializers and for array sizes)

 (b) the type sanity checking

and MIN_T/MAX_T avoids both of these issues.

Now, in the whole (long) discussion about all this, it was pointed out
that the whole type sanity checking is entirely unnecessary for
min_t/max_t which get a fixed type that the comparison is done in.

But that still leaves min_t/max_t unnecessarily complicated due to
worries about the C constant expression case.

However, it turns out that there really aren't very many cases that use
min_t/max_t for this, and we can just force-convert those.

This does exactly that.

Which in turn will then allow for much simpler implementations of
min_t()/max_t().  All the usual "macros in all upper case will evaluate
the arguments multiple times" rules apply.

We should do all the same things for the regular min/max() vs MIN/MAX()
cases, but that has the added complexity of various drivers defining
their own local versions of MIN/MAX, so that needs another level of
fixes first.
