That means that it will be in the range 1...256, and 0 is never tested (note that validate_idx is just increased, there is no modulo applied, so it's obvious that it shouldn't be increased). Even the wording ("next"_id) suggests that validate_idx should just be the value of CacheValidateCounter, which is the value of the previous next_id...

Just double checking, as switching from pre-increment to addition can change behavior: In both cases next_idx will have the same value after this line is executed, however validate_idx will not.

Prediff start state: validate_idx == 0;
Prediff stop state: validate_idx == 1; next_idx == 1;

Postdiff start state: validate_idx == 0;
Postdiff stop state: validate_idx == 0; next_idx == 1;

And another round over at the other end:

Prediff start state: validate_idx == 255;
Prediff stop state: validate_idx == 256; next_idx == 0;

Postdiff start state: validate_idx == 255;
Postdiff stop state: validate_idx == 255; next_idx == 0;

So, yes, validate_idx will only have a 255 in it in this last case, however the over-all behavior has changed: validate_idx isn't being incremented at all in this line.

WARNING: I have NOT looked at the rest of the diff, only at this one line.  Nor do I know if validate_idx should or shouldn't be incremented by this line of code.
