afs: Alter dirty range encoding in page->private
Currently, page->private on an afs page is used to store the range of dirtied data within the page, where the range includes the lower bound, but excludes the upper bound (e.g. 0-1 is a range covering a single byte). This, however, requires a superfluous bit for the last-byte bound so that on a 4KiB page, it can say 0-4096 to indicate the whole page, the idea being that having both numbers the same would indicate an empty range. This is unnecessary as the PG_private bit is clear if it's an empty range (as is PG_dirty). Alter the way the dirty range is encoded in page->private such that the upper bound is reduced by 1 (e.g. 0-0 is then specified the same single byte range mentioned above). Applying this to both bounds frees up two bits, one of which can be used in a future commit. This allows the afs filesystem to be compiled on ppc32 with 64K pages; without this, the following warnings are seen: ../fs/afs/internal.h: In function 'afs_page_dirty_to': ../fs/afs/internal.h:881:15: warning: right shift count >= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow] 881 | return (priv >> __AFS_PAGE_PRIV_SHIFT) & __AFS_PAGE_PRIV_MASK; | ^~ ../fs/afs/internal.h: In function 'afs_page_dirty': ../fs/afs/internal.h:886:28: warning: left shift count >= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow] 886 | return ((unsigned long)to << __AFS_PAGE_PRIV_SHIFT) | from; | ^~ Fixes: 4343d00 ("afs: Get rid of the afs_writeback record") Signed-off-by: David Howells <[email protected]>
