I personally think “if ((min + __fls(ipi_bitmap_low)) > map->max_apic_id)” is more readable.
But that’s just a matter of taste :)
That's an integer overflow.

But I do prefer to put the variable on the left.  The truth is that some
Smatch checks just ignore code which is backwards written because
otherwise you have to write duplicate code and the most code is written
with the variable on the left.

      if (min > (s32)(map->max_apic_id - __fls(ipi_bitmap_low))
Wait, the (s32) cast doesn't make sense.  We want negative min values to
be treated as invalid.
In v2, how about:

if (unlikely(min > map->max_apic_id || (min + __fls(ipi_bitmap_low)) >
map->max_apic_id))
    goto out;
That works, too.  It still has the off by one and we should set
Sorry, why off by one?
Sorry, my bad.  I looked at the code and > is correct.  (At first, I
thought it should be >= but I hadn't looked at the context).
