[PATCH v4 18/29] x86/cacheinfo: Use enums for cache descriptor types
From: Ahmed S. Darwish
Date: Mon Mar 24 2025 - 09:37:09 EST
The leaf 0x2 one-byte cache descriptor types:
CACHE_L1_INST
CACHE_L1_DATA
CACHE_L2
CACHE_L3
are just discriminators to be used within the cache_table[] mapping.
Their specific values are irrelevant.
Use enums for such types.
Make the enum packed and static assert that its values remain within a
single byte so that the cache_table[] array size do not go out of hand.
Use a __CHECKER__ guard for the static_assert(sizeof(enum) == 1) line as
sparse ignores the __packed annotation on enums. This is similar to
commit fe3944fb245a ("fs: Move enum rw_hint into a new header file") for
core SCSI code.
