Subject: [patch 3/4] jump_label: Clarify condition in static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled()
Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2024 14:46:37 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240610124406.484973160@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240610124258.109097511@linutronix.de>
The second part of
if (v <= 0 || (v + 1) < 0)
is not immediately obvious that it acts as overflow protection.
Check explicitely for v == INT_MAX instead and add a proper comment how
this is used at the call sites.
