[PATCH v2] xen/page_alloc: Remove dead code in alloc_domheap_pages()
Posted by Julien Grall 2 years, 11 months ago
From: Julien Grall <jgrall@amazon.com>

Since commit 1aac966e24e9 "xen: support RAM at addresses 0 and 4096",
bits_to_zone() will never return 0 and it is expected that we have
minimum 2 zones.

Therefore the check in alloc_domheap_pages() is unnecessary and can
be removed. However, for sanity, it is replaced with an ASSERT().

Also take the opportunity to switch from min_t() to min() as
bits_to_zone() cannot return a negative value. The macro is tweaked
to make it clearer.

This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.

Since this fulfills the dependencies put in place at the time, the
