It's more a question for the reader. True. Right. True, it's effectively the same as the upper 29 bits are random anyway and the bottom 3 bits are always set. Likely.

RE: [PATCH v1 3/5] treewide: use get_random_u32() when possible (score: 1): Author: David Laight <David.Laight@xxxxxxxxxx>; Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2022 21:29:02 +0000; That makes no difference - the compiler will generate the same code. The real question is WTF is the code doing? The '& ~7u' clears the bottom 3 bits. The '- 1' then sets the bottom 3 bits and decrem; /html/lvs-devel/2022-10/msg00015.html (18,419 bytes)

I had to think a tiny bit if random() returned a value from 0 to 7 and was promoted to a 64 bit value then truncated to 32 bit. Perhaps thes; /html/lvs-devel/2022-10/msg00014.html (14,100 bytes)

Shouldn't the two first 7s to be 3s? ... We have some 24-bit APIs (and 48-bit) already in kernel, why not to have get_random_u24() ? -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko; /html/lvs-devel/2022-10/msg00006.html (13,218 bytes)
