From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> stm32_dma_get_burst() returns a negative error code for invalid input, which gets turned into a large u32 value in stm32_dma_prep_dma_memcpy() that in turn triggers an assertion because it does not fit into a two-bit field: drivers/dma/stm32-dma.c: In function 'stm32_dma_prep_dma_memcpy': include/linux/compiler_types.h:399:38: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_310' declared with attribute error: FIELD_PREP: value too large for the field 399 | _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__) | ^ include/linux/compiler_types.h:380:4: note: in definition of macro '__compiletime_assert' 380 | prefix ## suffix(); \ | ^~~~~~ include/linux/compiler_types.h:399:2: note: in expansion of macro '_compiletime_assert' 399 | _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ include/linux/build_bug.h:39:37: note: in expansion of macro 'compiletime_assert' 39 | #define BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(cond, msg) compiletime_assert(!(cond), msg) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ include/linux/bitfield.h:68:3: note: in expansion of macro 'BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG' 68 | BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(__builtin_constant_p(_val) ? \ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ include/linux/bitfield.h:114:3: note: in expansion of macro '__BF_FIELD_CHECK' 114 | __BF_FIELD_CHECK(_mask, 0ULL, _val, "FIELD_PREP: "); \ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/dma/stm32-dma.c:1273:4: note: in expansion of macro 'FIELD_PREP' 1273 | FIELD_PREP(STM32_DMA_SCR_PBURST_MASK, dma_burst) | | ^~~~~~~~~~ I only see this with older gcc versions like gcc-6.5 or gcc-9.5 but not with gcc-12.2 or higher. My best guess is that this is the result of changes to __builtin_constant_p(), which seems to treat the 'cold' codepath after an error message as a constant branch, while in newer gcc versions the range check is skipped after determining that dma_burst is never a compile-time constant. As an easy workaround, assume the error can happen, so try to handle this by failing stm32_dma_prep_dma_memcpy() before the assertion.
