clang-14 points out that the range check is always true on 64-bit
architectures since a u32 is not greater than the allowed size:

drivers/block/rbd.c:6079:17: error: result of comparison of constant 2305843009213693948 with expression of type 'u32' (aka 'unsigned int') is always false [-Werror,-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
w

This is harmless, so just change the type of the temporary to size_t
to shut up that warning.

This fixes the warning, but then the now size_t value is passed
to ceph_decode_32_safe(), which implies a different type conversion.
That too is not harmful, but...

Could we just cast the value in the comparison instead?

  if ((size_t)snap_count > (SIZE_MAX - sizeof (struct ceph_snap_context))

You could drop the space between sizeof and ( while
you're at it (I always used the space back then).

Agree.
