Using an else following a break or return can unnecessarily indent code blocks. ie: for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) { int foo = bar(); if (foo < 1) break; else usleep(1); } is generally better written as: for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) { int foo = bar(); if (foo < 1) break; usleep(1); } Warn when a bare else statement is preceded by a break or return indented 1 tab more than the else.

Logging messages that show some type of "out of memory" error are generally unnecessary as there is a generic message and a stack dump done by the memory subsystem. These messages generally increase kernel size without much added value. Emit a warning on these types of messages. This test looks for any inserted message function, then looks at the previous line for an "if (!foo)" or "if (foo == NULL)" test and then looks at the preceding statement for an allocation function like "foo = kmalloc()" ie: this code matches: foo = kmalloc(); if (foo == NULL) { printk("Out of memory\n"); return -ENOMEM; } This test is very crude and incomplete. This test can miss quite a lot of of OOM messages that do not have this specific form. ie: this code does not match: foo = kmalloc(); if (!foo) { rtn = -ENOMEM; printk("Out of memory!\n"); goto out; } This test could also be a false positive when the logging message itself does not specify anything about memory, but I did not find any false positives in my limited testing. spatch could be a better solution but correctness seems non-trivial for that tool too.

Apparently, bitmap_andnot is supposed to return whether the new bitmap is empty. But it didn't take potential garbage bits in the last word into account. Signed-off-by:

There is no guarantee that *src does not contain garbage bits outside the lower nbits, so we need to mask it before the shift-and-assign. Signed-off-by:

__reg_op(..., REG_OP_ALLOC) always returns 0, so we might as well use that and save an instruction. Signed-off-by:
-
Rasmus Villemoes authored
Changing the pos parameter of __reg_op to unsigned allows the compiler to generate slightly smaller and simpler code. Also update its callers bitmap_*_region to receive and pass unsigned int. The return types of bitmap_find_free_region and bitmap_allocate_region are still int to allow a negative error code to be returned. An int is certainly capable of representing any realistic return value. Signed-off-by:

We want len to be the index of the first '\n', or the length of the string if there is no newline. This is a good example of the usefulness of strchrnul(). Use that instead, thus eliminating a branch and a call to strlen(). Signed-off-by:

The compiler can generate slightly smaller and simpler code when it knows that "start" is non-negative. Also, use the names "start" and "len" for the two parameters for consistency with bitmap_set. Signed-off-by:

The compiler can generate slightly smaller and simpler code when it knows that "nbits" is non-negative. Since no-one passes a negative bit-count, this shouldn't affect the semantics. I didn't change the return type, since that might change the semantics of some expression containing a call to bitmap_weight(). Certainly an int is capable of holding the result. Signed-off-by:

This change is only for consistency with the changes to the other bitmap_* functions; it doesn't change the size of the generated code: inside BITS_TO_LONGS there is a sizeof(long), which causes bits to be interpreted as unsigned anyway. Signed-off-by:

Since the extra bits are "don't care", there is no reason to mask the last word to the used bits when complementing. This shaves off yet a few bytes. Signed-off-by:

Many functions in lib/bitmap.c start with an expression such as lim = bits/BITS_PER_LONG. Since bits has type (signed) int, and since gcc cannot know that it is in fact non-negative, it generates worse code than it could. These patches, mostly consisting of changing various parameters to unsigned, gives a slight overall code reduction: add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 8/16 up/down: 251/-414 (-163) function old new delta tick_device_uses_broadcast 335 425 +90 __irq_alloc_descs 498 554 +56 __bitmap_andnot 73 115 +42 __bitmap_and 70 101 +31 bitmap_weight - 11 +11 copy_hugetlb_page_range 752 762 +10 follow_hugetlb_page 846 854 +8 hugetlb_init 1415 1417 +2 hugetlb_nrpages_setup 130 131 +1 hugetlb_add_hstate 377 376 -1 bitmap_allocate_region 82 80 -2 select_task_rq_fair 2202 2191 -11 hweight_long 66 55 -11 __reg_op 230 219 -11 dm_stats_message 2849 2833 -16 bitmap_parselist 92 74 -18 __bitmap_weight 115 97 -18 __bitmap_subset 153 129 -24 __bitmap_full 128 104 -24 __bitmap_empty 120 96 -24 bitmap_set 179 149 -30 bitmap_clear 185 155 -30 __bitmap_equal 136 105 -31 __bitmap_intersects 148 108 -40 __bitmap_complement 109 67 -42 tick_device_setup_broadcast_func.isra 81 - -81 [The increases in __bitmap_and{,not} are due to bug fixes 17/18,18/18. No idea why bitmap_weight suddenly appears.] While 163 bytes treewide is insignificant, I believe the bitmap functions are often called with locks held, so saving even a few cycles might be worth it. While making these changes, I found a few other things that might be worth including. 16,17,18 are actual bug fixes. The rest shouldn't change the behaviour of any of the functions, provided no-one passed negative nbits values. If something should come up, it should be fairly bisectable. A few issues I thought about, but didn't know what to do with: * Many of the functions misbehave if nbits is compile-time 0; the out-of-line functions generally handle 0 correctly. bitmap_fill() is particularly bad, whether the 0 is known at compile time or not. It would probably be nice to add detection of at least compile-time 0 and handle that appropriately. * I didn't change __bitmap_shift_{left,right} to use unsigned because I want to fully understand why the algorithm works before making that change. However, AFAICT, they behave correctly for all (positive) shift amounts. This is not the case for the small_const_nbits versions. If for example nbits = n = BITS_PER_LONG, the shift operators turn into no-ops (at least on x86), so one get *dst = *src, whereas one would expect to get *dst=0. That difference in behaviour is somewhat annoying. This patch (of 18): The compiler can generate slightly smaller and simpler code when it knows that "nbits" is non-negative. Since no-one passes a negative bit-count, this shouldn't affect the semantics. Signed-off-by: -

The helper merge_and_restore_back_links() makes sure to call the caller's cmp function during the final ->prev pointer fixup, so that the cmp function may call cond_resched(). However, if the cmp function does not call cond_resched() at all, this is entirely redundant. If it does, doing at least two function calls for every two pointer assignments is a bit excessive. This patch limits the calls to once for every 256 iterations. Signed-off-by:

There is no reason to maintain the list structure while freeing the debug elements. Aside from the redundant pointer manipulations, it is also inefficient from a locality-of-reference viewpoint, since they are visited in a random order (wrt. the order they were allocated). Furthermore, if we jumped to exit: after detecting list corruption, it is actually dangerous. So just free the elements in the order they were allocated, using the backing array elts. Allocate that using kcalloc(), so that if allocation of one of the debug element fails, we just end up calling kfree(NULL) for the trailing elements. Minor details: Use sizeof(*elts) instead of sizeof(void *), and return err immediately when allocation of elts fails, to avoid introducing another label just before the final return statement.

This was useful during development, and is retained for future regression testing. GCC appears to have no way to place string literals in a particular section; adding __initconst to a char pointer leaves the string itself in the default string section, where it will not be thrown away after module load. Thus all string constants are kept in explicitly declared and named arrays. Sorry this makes printk a bit harder to read. At least the tests are more compact. Signed-off-by:
