From 87940f9aa72a342988e89b9509c2572e494d91a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Brivio Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2024 18:58:49 +0100 Subject: tap: Cast TAP_BUF_BYTES - ETH_MAX_MTU to ssize_t, not TAP_BUF_BYTES Given that we're comparing against 'n', which is signed, we cast TAP_BUF_BYTES to ssize_t so that the maximum buffer usage, calculated as the difference between TAP_BUF_BYTES and ETH_MAX_MTU, will also be signed. This doesn't necessarily happen on 32-bit architectures, though. On armhf and i686, clang-tidy 18.1.8 and 19.1.2 report: /home/pi/passt/tap.c:1087:16: error: comparison of integers of different signs: 'ssize_t' (aka 'int') and 'unsigned int' [clang-diagnostic-sign-compare,-warnings-as-errors] 1087 | for (n = 0; n <= (ssize_t)TAP_BUF_BYTES - ETH_MAX_MTU; n += len) { | ~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cast the whole difference to ssize_t, as we know it's going to be positive anyway, instead of relying on that side effect.
