riscv64-gcc-linux-gnu (v8.5) reports a compile time assert in:
r[2] = DEFINE_RANGE(clamp_t(s64, fault_idx - radius, pg.start, pg.end),
clamp_t(s64, fault_idx + radius, pg.start, pg.end));
where it decides that pg.start > pg.end in:
clamp_t(s64, fault_idx + radius, pg.start, pg.end));
where pg comes from:
const struct range pg = DEFINE_RANGE(0, folio_nr_pages(folio) - 1);
That does not seem like it could be true. Even for pg.start == pg.end,
we would need folio_test_large() to evaluate to false at compile time:
static inline unsigned long folio_nr_pages(const struct folio *folio)
{
if (!folio_test_large(folio))
return 1;
return folio_large_nr_pages(folio);
}
Workaround by open coding the range computation. Also, simplify the type
declarations for the relevant variables.
