The 'max()' value of a 'long long' and an 'unsigned int' is problematic
if the former is negative:
In function 'fuse_wr_pages',
inlined from 'fuse_perform_write' at fs/fuse/file.c:1347:27:
include/linux/compiler_types.h:652:45: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_390' declared with attribute error: min(((pos + len - 1) >> 12) - (pos >> 12) + 1, max_pages) signedness error
652 | _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__)
| ^
Use a temporary variable to make it clearer what is going on here.

Hi Arnd,
I believe there was a patch sent last week [1] by David that addresses
this as well.
Thanks,

My patch was:
return min(((len + (pos & (PAGE_SIZE - 1)) - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT) + 1,
max_pages);
And your suggestion of:
I find this logic a bit confusing to read still, what about something like:
unsigned int nr_pages = DIV_ROUND_UP(offset_in_page(pos) + len, PAGE_SIZE);
return min(nr_pages, max_pages);
which is the same algorithm coded with some helpers.
