The scale() functions detects invalid parameters, but continues its calculations anyway. This causes bad results if negative values are used for unsigned operations. Worst case, a division by 0 error will be seen if source_min == source_max. On top of that, after v6.13, the sequence of WARN_ON() followed by clamp() may result in a build error with gcc 13.x. drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_backlight.c: In function 'scale': include/linux/compiler_types.h:542:45: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_415' declared with attribute error: clamp() low limit source_min greater than high limit source_max This happens if the compiler decides to rearrange the code as follows. if (source_min > source_max) { WARN(..); /* Do the clamp() knowing that source_min > source_max */ source_val = clamp(source_val, source_min, source_max); } else { /* Do the clamp knowing that source_min <= source_max */ source_val = clamp(source_val, source_min, source_max); } Fix the problem by evaluating the return values from WARN_ON and returning immediately after a warning. While at it, fix divide by zero error seen if source_min == source_max.
