Subject: [PATCH] nvmet: fix mar and mor off-by-one errors

From: Dennis Maisenbacher <[email protected]>

Maximum Active Resources (MAR) and Maximum Open Resources (MOR) are 0's
based vales where a value of 0xffffffff indicates that there is no limit.

Cast the unsigned int values that are returned by bdev_max_open_zones and
bdev_max_active_zones into u32 vales which need to be decremented as the
returned values of the block layer helpers are not 0's based.
The cast to u32 is necessary because the size of unsigned int is
architecture dependent and a 0 reported by the block layer helpers
indicates no limit, thus it needs to be converted to 0xffffffff which
happens by underflowing the u32.

unsigned int (in Linux, not the C standard) is not architecture
dependent but always a 32-bit unsigned integer type.

But I'd much rather see an explicit check for 0 and conversion to
0xffffffff anyway. Yes, unsigned integer underflow is well defined,
but having the explicit check explains much better to the read that it
is intentional.

Can you also add a Fixes tag, please?

Thanks for clarifying!

Sure, makes sense. I will address your comments in v2.
