A recent change to clamp_t() in 6.1.y caused fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c to fail
to compile with gcc-9. The code in nfsd4_get_drc_mem() was written with
the assumption that when "max < min",
clamp(val, min, max)
would return max. This assumption is not documented as an API promise
and the change caused a compile failure if it could be statically
determined that "max < min".
The relevant code was no longer present upstream when commit 1519fbc8832b
("minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for the lo < hi test in clamp()")
landed there, so there is no upstream change to nfsd4_get_drc_mem() to
backport.
There is no clear case that the existing code in nfsd4_get_drc_mem()
is functioning incorrectly. The goal of this patch is to permit the clean
application of commit 1519fbc8832b ("minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for
the lo < hi test in clamp()"), and any commits that depend on it, to LTS
kernels without affecting the ability to compile those kernels. This is
done by open-coding the __clamp() macro sans the built-in type checking.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
