This series backports 19 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.
Previous work to update 6.12.48: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20250922103123.14538-1-farbere@amazon.com/T/#... and 6.6.107: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20250922103241.16213-1-farbere@amazon.com/T/#...
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.
Andy Shevchenko (1): minmax: deduplicate __unconst_integer_typeof()
David Laight (8): minmax: fix indentation of __cmp_once() and __clamp_once() 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
Herve Codina (1): minmax: Introduce {min,max}_array()
Linus Torvalds (8): minmax: avoid overly complicated constant expressions in VM code minmax: simplify and clarify min_t()/max_t() implementation minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhere minmax: add a few more MIN_T/MAX_T users 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
Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (1): minmax: add in_range() macro
