ida_alloc_max(..., max, ...) returns values from 0 to max, inclusive.

So, BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR is a valid value for 'minor'.

BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR is '1U << MINORBITS' and we have:
	#define MKDEV(ma,mi)	(((ma) << MINORBITS) | (mi))

So, When this value is used in MKDEV() and it will overflow.

This patch is completely speculative.

The 'BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR_CAPPED - 1' is here only for symmetry with the
BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR case. I'm not sure at all that is is needed and, more
importantly, that it is correct.

Hm, since we're "removing" one alloctable device for the initial ipc
namespace, I think we need the -1 for the capped value.

Though I wonder if the simpler fix wouldn't just be to:

#define BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR MINORMASK

since include/linux/kdev_t.h has:

#define MINORBITS	20
#define MINORMASK	((1U << MINORBITS) - 1)


Hi,
I mostly agree with you, but I don't have a strong opinion on the other uses of BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR.

The ones related to 'max' values looks good to me, but I don't know the implication for the one used in binderfs_make_inode() and in init_binderfs().

I won't be able to help further here.
