Hello,

I have tried another specific analysis out on the source files of "Linux next-20151211" with help of the software "Coccinelle 1.0.4". I have taken a more detailed look on the use of the goto statement and corresponding jump labels.

Can statistics like the following support software evolution and further constructive considerations?

Do any of these numbers indicate update candidates which correspond to the "one error jump label bug" symptom that is mentioned in the Linux coding style documentation?

Do any of these numbers indicate update candidates which correspond to the "one error jump label bug" symptom that is mentioned in the Linux coding style documentation?

I don't think that numbers could indicate that. The point of that is a single label followed by a bunch of ifs, or by calls to functions that perform tests on input validity. That is, it is the content of the code that causes the problem, not its size. Dan also discourages the use of labels like out, that don't indicate anything about anything, or kmalloc_err, which don't indicate anything about what happens at the label target.

Maybe having a look at the 1 or 2 chars long labels would make sense. They are likely to be too short for being of any use.

IMHO, too long labels may also reduce readability.

PATCH 1/2 zram: Less checks in zram_bvec_write() after error detection

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 18:20:59 +0100

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

A few checks could be repeated by the zram_bvec_write() function at two places even if the passed variables contained a null pointer.

* This implementation detail could be improved by adjustments for jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

* Let us return directly if a memory allocation failed.

* Drop unnecessary initialisations for the variables "uncmem" and "zstrm" then.

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2015 11:36:02 +0100

Omit the unnecessary setting to a null pointer for the variable "param" at the beginning of the function "iscsi_set_default_param" because it can be directly initialized with the return value from the function "kzalloc".

PATCH 2/7 iscsi-target: Less checks in iscsi_set_default_param() after error detection

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2015 12:50:10 +0100

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

A sanity check would be performed by the iscsi_set_default_param() function even if it is known already that the passed variable contained a null pointer.

* This implementation detail could be improved by adjustments for jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

* Let us return directly if a call of the function "kzalloc" failed.

Omit the unnecessary setting to a null pointer for the variable "param" at the beginning of the function "iscsi_set_default_param" because it can be directly initialized with the return value from the function "kzalloc".

It's better to just get rid of the initialization but leave the kzalloc() as-is for two reasons.

1) Initializer code normally contains more bugs per line than other code. I am thinking about dereferencing pointers before checking for NULL or not checking the allocation for failure.

2) It puts a blank line between the allocation and the check for failure. It's like a new paragraph. The allocation and the check should be next to each other.

It's better to just get rid of the initialization but leave the kzalloc() as-is for two reasons.

Quoted 3 lines

1) Initializer code normally contains more bugs per line than other code. I am thinking about dereferencing pointers before checking for NULL or not checking the allocation for failure.

I can follow your concerns a bit.

Quoted 1 line

2) It puts a blank line between the allocation and the check for failure.

Is there a target conflict between "convenient" variable initialisation in the declaration section and the function outline that seems to be checked by the script "checkpatch.pl" to some degree while corresponding preferences or recommendations are not mentioned in the document "CodingStyle"?

Quoted 1 line

It's like a new paragraph.

I do not see the separation in a strict way so far.

Quoted 1 line

The allocation and the check should be next to each other.

I find that these actions are still close enough in the discussed use case.

Re: [PATCH] uinput: Rename a jump label in uinput_ioctl_handler()

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Choose a jump label according to the current Linux coding style convention.

While I am mildly curious where you found this Coccinelle script complaining about label names I find the current name is perfectly fine.

Thanks.

cover staging-Lustre: Fine-tuning for some function implementations

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2015 14:40:14 +0100

Several update suggestions were taken into account from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (7):
Delete unnecessary goto statements in six functions
Rename a jump label for ptlrpc_req_finished() calls
Rename a jump label for a kfree(key) call
Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in mgc_process_recover_log() Less checks in mgc_process_recover_log() after error detection A few checks less in mgc_process_recover_log() after error detection Rename a jump label for module_put() calls

PATCH 1/7 staging: lustre: Delete unnecessary goto statements in six functions

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2015 09:30:47 +0100

Six goto statements referred to a source code position directly behind them. Thus omit such unnecessary jumps.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Choose a jump label according to the current Linux coding style convention. I suggest to improve this implementation detail by the reuse of a script like the following for the semantic patch language.

PATCH 4/7 staging: lustre: Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in mgc_process_recover_log()

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2015 12:00:32 +0100

The variable "mne_swab" will eventually be set to an appropriate value from a call of the ptlrpc_rep_need_swab() function.
Thus let us omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.

PATCH 5/7 staging: lustre: Less checks in mgc_process_recover_log() after error detection

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2015 12:21:17 +0100

A few checks would be performed by the mgc_process_recover_log() function even if it is known already that the passed variable "pages" contained a null pointer.

* Let us return directly if a call of the kcalloc() function failed.

* Move assignments for the variables "eof" and "req" behind this memory allocation.

* Delete a sanity check then.

PATCH 7/7 staging: lustre: Rename a jump label for module_put() calls

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Choose a jump label according to the current Linux coding style convention. I suggest to improve this implementation detail by the reuse of a script like the following for the semantic patch language.

here and later, I don't want to split `out' label.
you still need to do both 'if zstrm' and 'if is_partial_io' checks anyway, what's the gain? the more labels we have the trickier it may get.

Exception handling is by definition exceptional, and thus its efficiency is rarely important. What is important is that it should be correct, and ideally clearly correct, so that someone can check its correctness easily. Optimizations, if they have any effect at all, typically make the correctness less obvious.

Omit the unnecessary setting to a null pointer for the variable "param" at the beginning of the function "iscsi_set_default_param" because it can be directly initialized with the return value from the function "kzalloc".

It's better to just get rid of the initialization but leave the kzalloc() as-is for two reasons.

Quoted 7 lines

1) Initializer code normally contains more bugs per line than other code. I am thinking about dereferencing pointers before checking for NULL or not checking the allocation for failure.

2) It puts a blank line between the allocation and the check for failure. It's like a new paragraph. The allocation and the check should be next to each other.

Our software development dialogue seems to trigger special challenges between us so far.

I try very hard to review patches mechanically and not be biased so that after a while people know if their patches will be merged or not without waiting for feedback.

In this case, I had asked you not to send patches renaming out labels and then the next day you sent me a string of patches renaming out labels. If you were a lustre dev then I would accept these renames definitely. But I believe that for anyone else, I would ask them what the point of doing these renames is. I do not think I have been unfair to you. There was no element of surprise.

Part of the reason we have CodingStyle is so that we can tell people "That's not in CodingStyle, that's just your own opinion so don't redo code just because you have a different opinion from the maintainer."

I like the first patch in this series. I do not like the renames. I don't care too much about patches 5 and 6 except that they should be folded together and you should not move "req" and "eof" around.

Mostly I wish you would just focus on fixing bugs instead of these sorts of patches. It is a lot of work for me to explain how to redo patches but it is worth it for bugfixes.

Six goto statements referred to a source code position directly behind them. Thus omit such unnecessary jumps.

I suggest you leave a blank line instead
of deleting the goto.

I do not think I have been unfair to you.

This view is correct in principle.

There was no element of surprise.

I am trying to discuss further "special" update suggestions where the topic focus might evolve to new directions. I got the impression that you had some difficulties already with my previous proposals. So I am unsure about the general change acceptance from you alone.

You pointed out that you are maintainer for this software area. I was not so aware about this detail while I noticed that you are very active Linux software developer.
(You are not mentioned in the file "MAINTAINERS" for example.)

Quoted 3 lines

Part of the reason we have CodingStyle is so that we can tell people "That's not in CodingStyle, that's just your own opinion so don't redo code just because you have a different opinion from the maintainer."

I find this description reasonable.

But I see some challenges to improve the coding style specification. I would appreciate if some items can become less ambiguous and imprecise. I assume that a few recommendations from the script "checkpatch.pl" should also be mentioned there.

How often are deviations from the coding style also just ordinary bugs?

It seems that changes for this area are occasionally not so attractive in comparison to software improvements for components

-ENOPARSE little bunny hop
(though I could have said "just leave a blank line)

I think that code blocks are more obvious to read.

This is the original code:

	result = foo();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = bar();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = baz();
	if (result)
		goto label;

label:

	go on...

He proposes:

	result = foo();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = bar();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = baz();
label:
	go on...

I don't find the test->goto label; label: use offensive, but if he does, I think keeping a blank line in place of the test->goto might be better.

	result = foo();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = bar();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = baz();

Or to put it another way, use a blank line before the first or only label in an error/out block.

I don't find it different then commonly written blocks like:

void foo(void)

{
	...;

	wind1();

	val = func1(...);
	if (val) {
		printk(...);
		goto err_type;
	}

	wind2();

	val = func2(...);
	if (val) {
		printk(...);
		goto err_type2;
	}

	...

	return 0;

err_type2:

	unwind2();
err_type:
	unwind1();
	return -ERR;
}

Yes, you can elide all the blank lines, but using them can
help readability.

A few checks would be performed by the mgc_process_recover_log() function even though it was determined that the passed variable "pages" contained a null pointer or a call of the alloc_page() function failed.

1. Let us return directly if a call of the kcalloc() function failed.

2. Corresponding implementation details could be improved by adjustments for jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

3. Delete sanity checks then.

4. Move an assignment for the variable "eof" behind memory allocations.

5. The variable "req" will eventually be set to an appropriate pointer from a call of the ptlrpc_request_alloc() function.
Thus let us omit the explicit initialisation before.

6. Apply a recommendation from the script "checkpatch.pl".

Dan Carpenter requested to squash the previous update steps 5 and 6 into a single patch for better source code review.
Now I see further software development challenges to increase the patch granularity even more as you suggest.

Which route would Lustre developers like to follow?

Not really. The patch could be described as just "change from using one exit label to using several." Markus has sent a number of these patches and I am CC'd on them because of kernel-janitors, it's really painful to review when he breaks them up into tiny patches where he changes one label at a time. It's like trying to put coleslaw back together into a head of cabbage.

A few checks would be performed by the mgc_process_recover_log() function even though it was determined that the passed variable "pages" contained a null pointer or a call of the alloc_page() function failed.

1. Let us return directly if a call of the kcalloc() function failed.

2. Corresponding implementation details could be improved by adjustments for jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

3. Delete sanity checks then.

These are not sanity checks, of course. They were required because of a common exit path.

4. Move an assignment for the variable "eof" behind memory allocations.

I had asked Markus not to do this. It is unrelated.

5. The variable "req" will eventually be set to an appropriate pointer from a call of the ptlrpc_request_alloc() function.

Now that we use multiple labels it isn't necessary to initialize "req".

This is where he changed pages[i] = NULL to !(pages[i]). It's not strictly related but it's minor and he was changing those lines anyway.

The ldm_crit, which is just a printk, is also not necessary, because kmalloc already generates backtrace information on failure. So you could clean up the whole thing at once.

A failed call of the kmalloc() function can generate appropriate information about insufficient memory already.
Thus remove unnecessary log messages for such failures.

The kfree() function was called by the ldm_validate_privheads() function during error handling even if the passed variable "ph" contained a null pointer.

* Corresponding implementation details could be improved by adjustments for jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

* The variable "result" will eventually be set to an appropriate value. Thus let us omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.

1. Remove some space characters and add a few according to the Linux coding style convention.

2. Reformat a bit of source code also for one switch statement.

3. Apply a few more recommendations from the script "checkpatch.pl".

PATCH 1/3 Documentation-getdelays: Fix a check for container file usage in main()

The close() function could be called by the main() function even if the passed variable "cfd" was assigned a negative value.

* Corresponding implementation details could be improved by adjustments for jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

* Fix the affected condition check.

This seems more easily fixed by simply making the condition > 0. Meanwhile, I'd really not add labels-inside-if-statements as an example in the documentation tree.

How do you think about the reuse of the error predicate "cfd != -1" for the return value from a call of the function "open"?

This seems like churn that doesn't actually fix anything.

Will it matter occasionally to reduce the number of function calls by combining several text fragments into the passing of one longer string parameter?

Does a warning like "quoted string split across lines" need also any further considerations for the Linux coding style specification?

ACPI-fan: Another source code review around null pointer handling?

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

Hello,

I have looked at the source file for the ACPI fan driver once more. I would appreciate if a specific implementation detail can be clarified there.

Static source code analysis can point out that functions like the following share an approach for error detection and corresponding exception handling.
* acpi_fan_get_fif
* acpi_fan_get_fps
* fan_get_state_acpi4
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/acpi/fan.c?id€c75a0f1d81922bf322c0634d1e1a15825a89e6#n107

Can it matter eventually to handle a detected null pointer differently from further checks for an attribute like "obj->type" or "obj->package"?

sata_mv: Another source code review around exception handling?

Hello,

I have looked at the source file for the Marvell SATA support driver once more. I would appreciate if a specific implementation detail can be clarified there.

Static source code analysis can point out that functions like the following are called by the mv_platform_probe() function.
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/ata/sata_mv.c?id€c75a0f1d81922bf322c0634d1e1a15825a89e6#n4055

* devm_kzalloc
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/device.h?v=4.3#L645

The value "-ENOMEM" will be returned if one of these function calls failed. Can it be that any system resources (like memory) are not appropriately released if any calls of this sequence succeeded before the failure?

Is the use of the single jump label "err" also suspicious here?

The variable "err" will eventually be set to an appropriate value from a call of the gpiochip_add() function.
Thus let us omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.

PATCH 1/1 i2c-core: One function call less in acpi_i2c_space_handler() after error detection

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2015 07:30:35 +0100

The kfree() function was called in one case by the acpi_i2c_space_handler() function during error handling even if the passed variable "client" contained a null pointer.

Implementation details could be improved by the adjustment of jump targets.

PATCH v2 1/1 i2c-core: One function call less in acpi_i2c_space_handler() after error detection

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2015 08:00:52 +0100

The kfree() function was called in one case by the acpi_i2c_space_handler() function during error handling even if the passed variable "client" contained a null pointer.

Implementation details could be improved by the adjustment of jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

This is OK. kfree() is known to be NULL-tolerant and we rely on it in various places to keep the code simpler.

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2015 10:01:36 +0100

The kfree() function was called in two cases by the ide_get_dev_handle() function during error handling even if the passed variable "dinfo" contained a null pointer.

* Let us return directly if a call of the function "ACPI_HANDLE" or "acpi_get_object_info" failed.

* Delete the explicit initialisation for the variables "dinfo" and "ret" at the beginning then.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

The variable "dinfo" will contain an appropropriate pointer after a call of the acpi_get_object_info() function succeeded.
Thus remove two safety checks.

Move the jump label directly before the desired log statement so that the variable "ret" does not need to be checked once more after it was determined that a function call failed.

Simpler code is easier to maintain. See your patch, you didn't get it correctly at your first try. Also, this is not a hot path, so I see it as a micro-optimization also adding complexity. I don't favor that.

I would appreciate if an unnecessary function call can be avoided here so that the affected exception handling can become also a bit more efficient.

Simpler code is easier to maintain.

There are different opinions available around the desired simplicity.

Quoted 1 line

See your patch, you didn't get it correctly at your first try.

I wonder myself about the circumstances on how my incomplete update suggestion did happen.

Quoted 1 line

Also, this is not a hot path,

I'm curious if approaches around better exception handling can eventually become a "hot topic".

Quoted 1 line

so I see it as a micro-optimization

I can agree to this view for this function implementation.

Quoted 1 line

also adding complexity.

There are the usual software development trade-offs.

Quoted 1 line

I don't favor that.

Thanks for your constructive feedback.

Is an identifier like "free_client" a bit nicer (according to the Linux coding style recommendations) than the short jump label "err" in the discussed use case?

This could be a good idea. Sometimes I hold off on sending patches for things becuse I have the impression that the subsystem doesn't want minor fixes, but I could be wrong, and if one could have a deterministic way to know, it could be better for everyone.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Move the jump label directly before the desired log statement so that the variable "ret" will not be checked once more after it was determined that a function call failed.

Why not avoid both unnecessary ifs and the enormous ugliness of a label inside an if by making two returns: a return 0 for success and a dev_dbg and return ret for failure?

I would find such a fine-tuning also nice in principle at more source code places.

How should your suggestion finally work when the desired execution success can be determined for such functions only after several other calls succeeded?

Is consistent checking of failure predicates usually required?

Not idea what this means, but immediate return 0 followed by various code for reacting to an error is very common, so it looks like it should be possible here.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Move the jump label directly before the desired log statement so that the variable "ret" will not be checked once more after a function call.

This commit message fits with the previous change.

It could be nice to put a blank line before the error handling code. See what is done elsewhere in the file.

PATCH 2/2 tuners: Refactoring for m88rs6000t_sleep()

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2015 15:20:45 +0100

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

1. Let us return directly if a call of the regmap_write() function failed.

2. Delete the jump label "err" then.

3. Return zero as a constant at the end.

Move the jump label directly before the desired log statement so that the variable "ret" will not be checked once more after a function call.

This commit message fits with the previous change.

Do you prefer an other wording?

Quoted 1 line

It could be nice to put a blank line before the error handling code.

Is it really a coding style requirement to insert another blank line between the suggested placement of the statement "return 0;" and the jump label?

Something like "Split the return into success and error cases, to avoid the need for testing before logging."

The concept of the return being duplicated didn't come across in your message.

I don't think it is a requirement. But some files do it, and if other functions in this file do it, then it would be nice to do the same.

Re: sata_mv: Another source code review around exception handling?

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

Hello,

Quoted 3 lines · SF Markus Elfring

The value "-ENOMEM" will be returned if one of these function calls failed. Can it be that any system resources (like memory) are not appropriately released if any calls of this sequence succeeded before the failure?

Most of those are managed resources (devm_, pcim_ and so on) and are released automatically when the driver detaches from the device.

Quoted 1 line

Is the use of the single jump label "err" also suspicious here?

And that exit label deal with resources which aren't managed - some just haven't grown managed variant yet while others don't fit the model too well.

Thanks.

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>

The variable "rc" will be set to an appropriate value from a call of the r820t_set_tv_standard() function.
Thus let us omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.

Move the jump label directly before the desired log statement so that the variable "rc" will not be checked once more after a function call.
Use the identifier "report_failure" instead of "err".

The error logging is performed in a separate section at the end now.

PATCH 1/1 xc5000: Faster result reporting in xc_load_fw_and_init_tuner()

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2015 20:10:30 +0100

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Split the previous if statement at the end so that each final log statement will eventually be performed by a direct jump to these labels.
* report_failure
* report_success

A check repetition can be excluded for the variable "ret" at the end then.

Apply also two recommendations from the script "checkpatch.pl".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Move the jump label directly before the desired log statement so that the variable "ret" will not be checked once more after a function call.
Use the identifier "report_failure" instead of "err".

The error logging is performed in a separate section at the end now.

PATCH 1/1 au0828: Refactoring for start_urb_transfer()

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2015 22:52:48 +0100

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

1. Let us return directly if a buffer allocation failed.

2. Delete the jump label "err" then.

3. Drop the explicit initialisation for the variable "ret" at the beginning.

4. Return zero as a constant at the end.

PATCH 1/1 mfd-dm355evm_msp: One function call less in add_child() after error detection

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2015 13:56:42 +0100

The platform_device_put() function was called in one case by the add_child() function during error handling even if the passed variable "pdev" contained a null pointer.

Implementation details could be improved by the adjustment of jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

PATCH 3/3 mtd-rfd_ftl: Refactoring for erase_block()

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2015 21:06:27 +0100

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Return directly if a memory allocation failed.

* Drop the explicit initialisation for the variable "rc" at the beginning then.

Re: [PATCH 1/3] net-gianfar: Less function calls in gfar_ethflow_to_filer_table() after error detection

Normally, one returns -ENOMEM for this case, but it looks like this function is returning 0 on failure.

Should a symbol like "false" be used instead of such a special number?

Maybe it's better than 0 and 1...

Your suggestion about -ENOMEM is consistent with the callchain. Nothing else is needed.

Btw:
1. kfree does not care about NULL parameter, especially in this hardly timing sensitive path.
2. kmalloc_array for small kernel controlled arrays of integers (see drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.h), seriously ?

I'd suggest the janitor to introduce a dedicated struct to embed both gfar_private.ftp_rqf{p, c}r then use a single, plain kmalloc in gfar_ethflow_to_filer_table.

Happy tasteful 2016 :o)

net-i40e: Reconsider further usage of variable "i" in i40e_vc_get_vf_resources_msg()

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

Hello,

I have taken another look at the implementation of the
function "i40e_vc_get_vf_resources_msg". I find the use of the variable "i" strange there. It seems that the value from the increment operation in an if branch is not reused so far.

I would appreciate a further clarification.
Can this variable be eventually deleted?

Regards,
Markus

Putting a label inside an if is ugly.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Move the jump label directly before the desired log statement so that the variable "err" will not be checked once more after it was determined that a function call failed. Use the identifier "report_failure" instead of the label "err".

Why? The code was smart enough and you're making it uglier that it needs
to be.

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

This is not the proper way to resubmit patches when you are asked to make changes to some portion of a multi-patch series.

You must always resubmit the entire series when this happens, not just the patch that changes.

And in the revised cover "0/N" posting you list the revisions that were made.

So far, you have gotten several down votes for this kind of change, and no enthusiasm.

Admittedly, this is a trivial case, because there are no local variables, but do you actually know the semantics in C of a jump into a block? And if you do know, do you think that this semantics is common knowledge? And do you really think that introducing poorly understandable code is really worth saving an if test of a single variable on a non-critical path?

Most of the kernel code is not performance critical at the level of a single if test. So the goal should be for the code to be easy to understand and robust to change. The code that is performance critical, you should probably not touch, ever. The people who wrote it knew what was important and what was not.

Let's burn some cycles on this while the holidays give me time to do so. "software development taste" is another term for "coding style". In every project battles are fought over this between friends and foes. I have never seen much evolution going on in this area.

I had to take a look at this particular patch and I have to say that I don't see, using your favorite term, evolution at work. It looks more like the result of inbred. What the patch tries to do is avoid the extra 'if (err)'. Setting coding style aside, the question is whether there is a good metric for the patch. So does it really safe processing time? Did you look at the resulting assembly code for different target architectures?

You got pushed back on the change so you have to come up with solid arguments for your change instead of spewing ideas about evolution in software development. Running Coccinelle is one thing, but understanding the results and what you are ultimately proposing to be changed is more important.

Yes. - I propose to look at related consequences together with the usage of a popular short jump label once more.

Setting coding style aside, the question is whether there is a good metric for the patch.

A software development challenge is to accept changes also around a topic like "error handling". My update suggestion for the source file "drivers/net/wireless/marvell/libertas/if_spi.c" should only improve exception handling. (I came along other source files where more improvements will eventually be possible.)

When will the run-time behaviour matter also for exceptional situations?

net-rsi: Reconsider usage of variable "vap_id" in rsi_send_mgmt_pkt()

In reply to SF Markus Elfring

Hello,

I have taken another look at the implementation of the function "rsi_send_mgmt_pkt".
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_pkt.c?idèc58e7a5a106c3d557fccd01cd4d1128f9bab38#n114

I find the following statement combination interesting there.

…

	u8 vap_id = 0;
…
	msg[7] |= cpu_to_le16(vap_id << 8);

…

I would appreciate a further clarification.
Does a shift operation for a variable which contains zero indicate an open issue?

Regards,
Markus

Re: [PATCH] iio: qcom-spmi-vadc: One check less in vadc_measure_ref_points() after error detection

In reply to SF Markus Elfring
Quoted 10 lines · SF Markus Elfring

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2015 13:53:15 +0100

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Move the jump label directly before the desired log statement so that the variable "ret" does not need to be checked once more after it was determined that a function call failed.

If we are going to change this, I would prefer to see more useful local error messages and direct returns rather than jumping to a very generic message at the end.

I'm also less than keen on jumping into conditionals as I find it slightly less readable.

We might technically be 'simplifying' the code, but in this case the gain is very minor for a fair bit of code churn...

Thanks,

Jonathan

In this first case we have already had a report that a conversion failed. I suppose adding that it was during reference point measurement 'might' be useful additional information. I'm not really convinced of it does however... Hence I'd drop reporting it entirely in this function.
