Subject: Re: [PATCH 5.15 000/215] 5.15.166-rc1 review

I get "out of memory" build error on Slackware 15.0 (x86) with kernels
5.15.164, 5.15.165, and 5.15.166-rc1.

#uname -a
Linux aragorn 5.15.166-rc1-smp #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 2 14:03:00 PDT 2024
i686 AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

The attached configuration I use is the standard Slackware 15.0:
config-huge-smp-5.15.161-smp

Here is some of the error log for the 5.15.166-rc1 build:

I have a work around...

When I unpatch these 6 minmax patches taken from kernel-5.15.164
then the errors are fixed!

minmax: allow comparisons of 'int' against 'unsigned char/short'
minmax: allow min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments have the same
minmax: clamp more efficiently by avoiding extra comparison
minmax: fix header inclusions
minmax: relax check to allow comparison between unsigned arguments
minmax: sanity check constant bounds when clamping

Can the minmax patches be removed or fixed?
