Yeah, it makes sense.

Then maybe you won't need the accessors... Well, min_size and max_size are not task-specific. So, it will be wasteful to include in struct fpu. I will follow your suggestion to add new helpers to access the size values, instead of exporting them. >>>> @@ -627,13 +627,18 @@ static void check_xstate_against_struct(int nr) >>>> */ >>> >>> <-- There's a comment over this function that might need adjustment. >> >> Do you mean an empty line?

After all, the proposal is to remove the helper. Thanks, Chang [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210203024052.15789-1-chang.seok....@intel.com/
