This one looks pretty useful and common (especially to work around
Clang's smartness). I have related set of helpers waiting it's time,
see [0]. I'd say we should think about some good naming of them,
document them properly (including various gotchas), and include them
(initially) in bpf_misc.h and start using them in selftests.

sounds good to me.

any preference for a name?  bpf_index_array()?
- no need to say "bounded".
- want to begin with bpf_.
- sticking with your clamp style, "index" would be the verb. (instead of e.g. bpf_array_index, which sounds like it has something to do with a BPF array".

i'm up for anything though.  =)

yeah, I'm hesitant about this one. It is very similar to
bpf_clam_xxx() macros I referenced above, probably we should use those
instead.

totally agree. i can switch my stuff to use the clamp, which covers all of the use cases/signedness. btw, good to know the "s<" is signed-less-than. i imagine i'd have had trouble with that. =)

thanks,
