Subject: [PATCH] lib/atomic64-test: Add a test that atomic64_inc_not_zero() returns an int
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 22:12:13 +1000
Message-ID: <1499775133-1231-1-git-send-email-mpe@ellerman.id.au> (raw)

atomic64_inc_not_zero() returns a "truth value" which in C is traditionally an
int. That means callers are likely to expect the result will fit in an int.

If an implementation returns a "true" value which does not fit in an int, then
there's a possibility that callers will truncate it when they store it in an
int. In fact this happened in practice, see commit 966d2b04e070
("percpu-refcount: fix reference leak during percpu-atomic transition").

So add a test that the result fits in an int, even when the input doesn't. This
catches the case where an implementation just passes the non-zero input value
out as the result.
