[lm-sensors] [PATCH v2] hwmon: (pmbus) Fix the logic of checking if

[Axel Lin]

If no id is matched, the mid pointer is not NULL in current implementation.

v2:
It seems we don't need to check strlen(mid->name) here.
If there is a match, strlen(mid->name) is always not 0.
If ther is no match, comparing variable i with ARRAY_SIZE(ucd9000_id)
or ARRAY_SIZE(ucd9200_id) is enough.

Hi Alex,

The NULL check is presumably there to catch the (impossible) case
ARRAY_SIZE(ucd9000_id) = 0 (array of ids is empty), not the case "no
id is matched". The initialization of mid to NULL is for the same
reason. Both should be unnecessary but may have been motivated by a
compiler warning (although I would think gcc is smart enough to not
emit these when it can check that the array isn't empty.) Guenter
should be able to tell more.

The check for "no id is matched" is !strlen(mid->name), which works as
intended as far as I can see. Did you actually hit a bug with the
current code? I bet not.

Now I would agree that the current code is somewhat misleading because
mixing null-terminated arrays with ARRAY_SIZE() is unusual (and
inefficient - the last iteration always fails.) Also, strlen() is
relatively slow and would rather be avoided when only testing if a
string is empty or not: it's faster to test for mid->name[0].

So if anything I would propose the following changes (for performance
and readability, NOT bug fix), untested:

No, I didn't hit the bug. Just reading the code.

No, I didn't hit the bug. Just reading the code.

Your fix looks good to me. ( Although I don't have the h/w for testing ).

Yes, that was the idea, and as far as I recall I did get a compiler
warning at the time. The loop aborts at the last entry due to the
strncasecmp() match on the zero length string. Axel's patch won't work,
since i = ARRAY_SIZE(ucd9000_id) is never true for the same reason.

I like it too. I'll dig out my test boards and test it. Jean, care to
submit complete patches ? Otherwise I'll create a set myself and send it
out for review once I tested it.
