Oddly enough I'm unable to reproduce this with:

>>> include/linux/compiler_types.h:631:38: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_639' declared with attribute error: clamp() low limit pg.start greater than high limit pg.end
I'm a bit puzzled by this assert.
folio_zero_user():
{
const unsigned long base_addr = ALIGN_DOWN(addr_hint, folio_size(folio));
const long fault_idx = (addr_hint - base_addr) / PAGE_SIZE;
const struct range pg = DEFINE_RANGE(0, folio_nr_pages(folio) - 1);
const int radius = FOLIO_ZERO_LOCALITY_RADIUS;
struct range r[3];
int i;
/*
* Faulting page and its immediate neighbourhood. Will be cleared at the
* end to keep its cachelines hot.
*/
r[2] = DEFINE_RANGE(clamp_t(s64, fault_idx - radius, pg.start, pg.end),
clamp_t(s64, fault_idx + radius, pg.start, pg.end));
the cause of the failure is that the compiler decides that pg.start > pg.end in:
clamp_t(s64, fault_idx + radius, pg.start, pg.end));
which come from:
const struct range pg = DEFINE_RANGE(0, folio_nr_pages(folio) - 1);
Now pg.start > pg.end if, folio_nr_pages() == 1.
Which would need folio_test_large() to evaluate to false at compile time:
static inline unsigned long folio_nr_pages(const struct folio *folio)
{
if (!folio_test_large(folio))
return 1;
return folio_large_nr_pages(folio);
}
But folio_test_large() is only defined as a test_bit(), without a
compile time constant defintion.
Also, the configuration has HUGETLBFS (which anyway guards the
definition of folio_zero_user()):
$ cat config |egrep 'HUGETLBFS|TRANSPARENT'
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD=y
# CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not set
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS=y
CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=y
