[PATCH resent] drm/amd/display: Fix exception handling in dm_validate_stream_and_context()

[Markus Elfring]

Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2023 16:21:32 +0100

The label “cleanup” was used to jump to another pointer check despite of
the detail in the implementation of the function “dm_validate_stream_and_context”
that it was determined already that corresponding variables contained
still null pointers.

1. Thus return directly if
   * a null pointer was passed for the function parameter “stream”
     or
   * a call of the function “dc_create_plane_state” failed.

2. Use a more appropriate label instead.

3. Delete two questionable checks.

4. Omit extra initialisations (for the variables “dc_state” and “dc_plane_state”)
   which became unnecessary with this refactoring.


This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

May longer identifiers (or even the complete SHA-1 ID) occasionally also
be tolerated for the tag “Fixes”?

How do you think about the proposed change possibilities?

Well, the hash length is restricted by convention (see
./scripts/checkpatch.pl in the kernel tree), so to propose that change
it would have done more broadly than just for amd-gfx.

Hi Markus,

Thanks for working on this improvement.
Overall, LGTM. Some nits below.

As the patch wasn't merged yet, don't add these two kernel-bot-related lines.

You only need to add these lines "If you fix the issue in a separate
patch/commit (i.e. not just a new version of the same patch/commit)"

For readability, I would add an extra line here...

and here.

With that, you can add my

I think the two early returns look fine, but the rest of the changes 
reduces the readability and reusability.

This clean was intended to be reused for now and for future changes, and 
the changes here remove the reusability. Also "cleanup" is commonly used 
already.

I guess the intention was to reduce goto statements. If that's the case, 
it would be better to eliminate all goto and then to remove cleanup + 
two checks.

On the other hand, I don't see anything wrong with goto/cleanup approach 
either. Multiple exits in a function do not hurt if managed correctly.

Partly, yes.

If you're going to fold the fix into the original commit then it
doesn't matter what the commit message says since it will be gone
in the end either way.
