Subject: [PATCH v8 2/2] staging: rtl8723bs: Use % 4096 instead of & 0xfff
Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2025 15:41:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <930b275f8bfd8a8a0b06e38c14b7c26dd08af200.1744126058.git.abrahamadekunle50@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1744126058.git.abrahamadekunle50@gmail.com>
The sequence number is constrained to a range of [0, 4095], which
is a total of 4096 values. The bitmask operation using `& 0xfff` is
used to perform this wrap-around. While this is functionally correct,
it obscures the intended semantic of a 4096-based wrap.
Using a modulo operation `% 4096u` makes the wrap-around logic
explicit and easier to understand. It clearly signals that the
sequence number cycles through a range of 4096 values.
It also makes the code robust against potential changes of the 4096
upper limit, especially when it becomes a non power-of-2 value while
the AND(&) works solely for power-of-2 values.
The use of `% 4096u` also guarantees that the modulo operation is
performed with unsigned arithmetic, preventing potential issues with
the signed types.
