This checks for a comparison using < or > between two constants,
considering both explicit constants (1, 2, etc) and macros defined
with #define. False positives are possible in the latter case, when
a macro may have multiple possible definitions and it is indeed
necessary to check the value. There are currently two such false
positives, in drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb3/sge.c:
q->fl[0].use_pages = FL0_PG_CHUNK_SIZE > 0;
q->fl[1].use_pages = FL1_PG_CHUNK_SIZE > 0;
It seems fairly clear that the use_pages field is intended to hold a
boolean value. The semantic patch actually provides for this, but
the rule requires the left side of the assignment to be a bool, and
here it is declared as unsigned int. Hopefully there will not be too
many false positives, and the benefit of including macros in the
check will execeed the cost of checking the output for errors.
