    i40e: remove out-of-range comparisons in i40e_validate_cloud_filter · a01e5f22
    Jacob Keller authored
    The function i40e_validate_cloud_filter checks that the destination and
    source port numbers are valid by attempting to ensure that the number is
    non-zero and no larger than 0xFFFF. However, the types for the dst_port
    and src_port variable are __be16 which by definition cannot be larger
    than 0xFFFF
    
    Since these values cannot be larger than 2 bytes, the check to see if
    they exceed 0xFFFF is meaningless.
    
    One might consider these checks as some sort of defensive coding, in
    case the type was later changed. However, these checks also byte-swap
    the value before comparison using be16_to_cpu, which will truncate the
    values to 16bits anyways. Additionally, changing the type would require
    updating the opcodes to support new data layout of these virtchnl
    commands.
    
    Remove the check to silence the -Wtype-limits warning that was added to
    GCC 8.
