Subject: [PATCH 5/5] tcp: MAX_WINDOW should be unsigned
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 18:18:33 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615081833.1061725-6-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615081833.1061725-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

Currently MAX_WINDOW is defined as a (signed) int, since '1' is a signed
literal.  This means that when it's used in the SEQ_*() macros, we're
making a signed / unsigned comparison.  While I don't think it was
incorrect in practice, confirming that requires reasoning though arcane
C type promotion rules.

Since it's obviously a non-negative value, change the constant to unsigned.
Change BUF_DISCARD_SIZE for the same reason, and because they're linked
via DISCARD_IOV_NUM, which must also be non-negative.  Change the types
of a few variables in tcp_prepare_iov() to match (otherwise we'd get some
compiler warnings).
