Dan,
Thanks for the feedback.
The one above: "size = min(bytes, PAGE_SIZE - pgoff);", results in
32-bit compile warnings:
./include/linux/kernel.h:846:29: warning: comparison of distinct
pointer types lacks a cast
(!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
[...]
drivers/android/binder_alloc.c:1157:10: note: in expansion of macro ‘min’
size = min(bytes, PAGE_SIZE - pgoff);
so, I took your suggestion:
size = min_t(size_t, bytes, PAGE_SIZE - pgoff);

It definitely is cleaner, but the clean version is doing arithmetic on
a void pointer which is generally not considered good practice (but is
supported by gcc). Is this acceptable in the kernel? I don't see any
statement on it in Documentation/process/coding-style.rst.
If so, I agree a bunch of these casts can go as you suggest.
