After commit cbc654d18d37 ("bitops: Add __attribute_const__ to generic ffs()-family implementations"), which allows GCC's value range tracker to see past ffs(), GCC 8 on ARM thinks that it might be possible that "ffs(rq) - 8" used here:
v = FIELD_PREP(PCI_EXP_DEVCTL_READRQ, ffs(rq) - 8);
could wrap below 0, leading to a very large value, which would be out of range for the FIELD_PREP() usage:
drivers/pci/pci.c: In function 'pcie_set_readrq': include/linux/compiler_types.h:572:38: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_471' declared with attribute error: FIELD_PREP: value too large for the field ... drivers/pci/pci.c:5896:6: note: in expansion of macro 'FIELD_PREP' v = FIELD_PREP(PCI_EXP_DEVCTL_READRQ, ffs(rq) - 8); ^~~~~~~~~~
If the result of the ffs() is bounds checked before being used in FIELD_PREP(), the value tracker seems happy again. :)
