Within mba_setup() the programmed bandwidth delay value starts at the maximum (100, or rather ALLOCATION_MAX) and progresses towards ALLOCATION_MIN by decrementing with ALLOCATION_STEP. The programmed bandwidth delay should never be negative, so representing it with an unsigned int is most appropriate. This may introduce confusion because of the "allocation > ALLOCATION_MAX" check used to check wraparound of the subtraction. Modify the mba_setup() flow to start at the minimum, ALLOCATION_MIN, and incrementally, with ALLOCATION_STEP steps, adjust the bandwidth delay value. This avoids wraparound while making the purpose of "allocation > ALLOCATION_MAX" clear and eliminates the need for the "allocation < ALLOCATION_MIN" check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
