Subject: [PATCH v3 00/11 6.1.y] Backport minmax.h updates from v6.17-rc7
This series backports 13 patches to update minmax.h in the 6.1.y branch,
aligning it with v6.17-rc7.
The ultimate goal is to synchronize all longterm branches so that they
include the full set of minmax.h changes (6.12.y and 6.6.y were already
backported by me and are now ligned).
The key motivation is to bring in commit d03eba99f5bf ("minmax: allow
min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments have the same signedness"), which
is missing in older kernels.
In mainline, this change enables min()/max()/clamp() to accept mixed
argument types, provided both have the same signedness. Without it,
backported patches that use these forms may trigger compiler warnings,
which escalate to build failures when -Werror is enabled.
Changes in v3:
- v2 included 13 patches:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20250929183358.18982-1-farbere@amazon.com/
- First 2 were accepted and are part of 6.1.155.
- 3rd caused build in drivers/md/ to fail:

- The build was fixed in the second patch of this series.
Changes in v2:
- v1 included 19 patches:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20250924202320.32333-1-farbere@amazon.com/
- First 6 were pushed to the stable-tree.
- 7th cauded amd driver's build to fail.
- This change fixes it.

David Laight (7):
minmax.h: add whitespace around operators and after commas
minmax.h: update some comments
minmax.h: reduce the #define expansion of min(), max() and clamp()
minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for the lo < hi test in clamp()
minmax.h: move all the clamp() definitions after the min/max() ones
minmax.h: simplify the variants of clamp()
minmax.h: remove some #defines that are only expanded once
Linus Torvalds (4):
minmax: simplify min()/max()/clamp() implementation
minmax: don't use max() in situations that want a C constant
expression
minmax: improve macro expansion and type checking
minmax: fix up min3() and max3() too
