[PATCH bpf-next v2] xsk: Elide base_addr comparison in xp_unaligned_validate_desc

From: Kal Conley
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 09:02:00 EST


Remove redundant (base_addr >= pool->addrs_cnt) comparison from the
conditional.

In particular, addr is computed as:

addr = base_addr + offset

where base_addr and offset are stored as 48-bit and 16-bit unsigned
integers, respectively. The above sum cannot overflow u64 since
base_addr has a maximum value of 0x0000ffffffffffff and offset has a
maximum value of 0xffff (implying a maximum sum of 0x000100000000fffe).
Since overflow is impossible, it follows that addr >= base_addr.

Now if (base_addr >= pool->addrs_cnt), then clearly:

addr >= base_addr
>= pool->addrs_cnt

Thus, (base_addr >= pool->addrs_cnt) implies (addr >= pool->addrs_cnt).
Subsequently, the former comparison is unnecessary in the conditional
since for any boolean expressions A and B, (A || B) && (A -> B) is
equivalent to B.
