The patch titled Subject: minmax.h: simplify the variants of clamp() has been added to the -mm mm-nonmm-unstable branch. Its filename is minmaxh-simplify-the-variants-of-clamp.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/minmaxh-simplify-the-variants-of-clamp.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-nonmm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: David Laight <David.Laight@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: minmax.h: simplify the variants of clamp() Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2024 19:15:05 +0000 Always pass a 'type' through to __clamp_once(), pass '__auto_type' from clamp() itself. The expansion of __types_ok3() is reasonable so it isn't worth the added complexity of avoiding it when a fixed type is used for all three values.
