Landed in mainline as 4a6f18f28627 on 2025-02-15.
GCC can see that the value range for "order" is capped, but this leads
it to consider that it might be negative, leading to a false positive
warning (with GCC 15 with -Warray-bounds -fdiagnostics-details):
../drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/alloc.c:691:47: error: array subscript -1 is below array bounds of 'long unsigned int *[2]' [-Werror=array-bounds=]
691 | i = find_first_bit(pgdir->bits[o], MLX4_DB_PER_PAGE >> o);
| ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~
'mlx4_alloc_db_from_pgdir': events 1-2
691 | i = find_first_bit(pgdir->bits[o], MLX4_DB_PER_PAGE >> o); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| | | | | (2) out of array bounds here
| (1) when the condition is evaluated to true In file included from ../drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/mlx4.h:53,
from ../drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/alloc.c:42:
../include/linux/mlx4/device.h:664:33: note: while referencing 'bits'
664 | unsigned long *bits[2];
| ^~~~
Switch the argument to unsigned int, which removes the compiler needing
to consider negative values.
