It seems to have got deleted since, but it is: u32 slotsize = slot_bytes(ca); u32 num = ca->maxreqs; unsigned long avail, total_avail; unsigned int scale_factor; spin_lock(&nfsd_drc_lock); if (nfsd_drc_max_mem > nfsd_drc_mem_used) total_avail = nfsd_drc_max_mem - nfsd_drc_mem_used; else /* We have handed out more space than we chose in * set_max_drc() to allow. That isn't really a * problem as long as that doesn't make us think we * have lots more due to integer overflow. */ total_avail = 0; avail = min((unsigned long)NFSD_MAX_MEM_PER_SESSION, total_avail); /* * Never use more than a fraction of the remaining memory, * unless it's the only way to give this client a slot. * The chosen fraction is either 1/8 or 1/number of threads, * whichever is smaller. This ensures there are adequate * slots to support multiple clients per thread. * Give the client one slot even if that would require * over-allocation--it is better than failure. */ scale_factor = max_t(unsigned int, 8, nn->nfsd_serv->sv_nrthreads); avail = clamp_t(unsigned long, avail, slotsize, total_avail/scale_factor); num = min_t(int, num, avail / slotsize); num = max_t(int, num, 1); Lets rework it a bit... if (nfsd_drc_max_mem > nfsd_drc_mem_used) { total_avail = nfsd_drc_max_mem - nfsd_drc_mem_used; avail = min(NFSD_MAX_MEM_PER_SESSION, total_avail); avail = clamp(avail, n + sizeof(xxx), total_avail/8) } else { total_avail = 0; avail = 0; avail = clamp(0, n + sizeof(xxx), 0); } Neither of those clamp() are sane at all - should be clamp(val, lo, hi) with 'lo <= hi' otherwise the result is dependant on the order of the comparisons. The compiler sees the second one and rightly bleats. I can't even guess what the code is actually trying to calculate! Maybe looking at where the code came from, or the current version might help. It MIGHT be that the 'lo' of slotsize was an attempt to ensure that the following 'avail / slotsize' was as least one. Some software archaeology might show that the 'num = max(num, 1)' was added because the code above didn't work. In that case the clamp can be clamp(avail, 0, total_avail/scale_factor) which is just min(avail, total_avail/scale_factor). The person who rewrote it between 6.1 and 6.18 might now more.
