[PATCH next] fuse: Fix 'min: signedness error' in fuse_wr_pages()
Posted by david.laight.linux@gmail.com 3 weeks, 4 days ago
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

On 32bit systems 'pos' is s64 and everything else is 32bit so the
first argument to min() is signed - generating a warning.
On 64bit systems 'len' is 64bit unsigned forcing everything to unsigned.

Fix by reworking the exprssion to completely avoid 64bit maths on 32bit.
Use DIV_ROUND_UP() instead of open-coding something equivalent.

Note that the 32bit 'len' cannot overflow because the syscall interface
limits read/write (etc) to (INT_MAX - PAGE_SIZE) bytes (even on 64bit).

Fixes: 0f5bb0cfb0b4 ("fs: use min() or umin() instead of min_t()")

Christian, you took 0f5bb0cfb0b4 in vfs-7.0.misc, could you please apply
this fix? Building this file for 32-bit has been broken for the majority
of the -next cycle (I applied an earlier fix David provided and forgot
to chase it until now).

This fixes the MIPS cross compiler error on arm64 that I reported. I
also tested a native arm64 build.
