Looks like a reasonable cleanup but could be that driver maintainers want to take that through their individual branches to avoid conflicts.

Alternatively when the i915 and rockship maintainers say that they are fine with the change I'm happy to push this to drm-misc-next.

I can't tell what the dependency story is here, it looks like there's
none?  If that's the case you shouldn't send things as a single series,
send separate patches to the various subsystems.

Please submit patches using subject lines reflecting the style for the
subsystem, this makes it easier for people to identify relevant patches.
Look at what existing commits in the area you're changing are doing and
make sure your subject lines visually resemble what they're doing.
There's no need to resubmit to fix this alone.

No, rstc == NULL is valid (for optional reset controls) and must not
throw a warning.

This changes the behavior when rstc == NULL.
WARN_ON does not hit when rstc == NULL in the original code.

The cleanup alone looks fine, but I'm not sure if the maintainers would
be happy about the tree-wide spam, since each patch might go through a
different tree. I'd wait for Alex's preference/ack on that.

As others have expressed in general, this doesn't seem to be cleaner
and tends to mask that we consider IS_ERR() and NULL as separate cases
in the goto.  This code looks like it could use some refactoring, and
likely that refactoring should handle the IS_ERR() and NULL cases
separately, but conflating them here is not an improvement.  Thanks,

Alex

Ug, No!

That looks so much worse than the original.

Hmm, now IS_ERR_OR_NULL() is an inline function, so it is safe.
But if you want to use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() here, it will be better something like

node = rhashtable_walk_next(&iter);
while (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(node)) {
	fprobe_remove_node_in_module(mod, node, &alist);
	node = rhashtable_walk_next(&iter);
}

Thanks,

But now you need to have a duplicate code in order to acquire "node"

I think the patch just makes the code worse.

Obviously we need a new for_each_*() helper hiding all the gory internals?

Honestly, the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() looks worse in a lot of the locations you
updated. Just because we have IS_ERR_OR_NULL() doesn't mean we need to go
and replace every location that can use it.

NAK for any code this touches that I'm responsible for.

I'm going to gently suggest that you *not* try to do this as a
tree-wide change, since we don't need to change some interface
requiring a global, flag day change.  This is instead a cleanup, which
maybe makes the code slightly better, but which also has a the
downside of breaking lots of inflight development patches by
potentially causing merge or patch conflicts.

So why don't you send it to each subsystem as a separate patch or
small patch series, instead of spamming a dozen-plus mailing lists,
are probably hundreds of developers, most of whom aren't going to
care about changs in some far flung part of the kernel?

Hi Philipp,

Thank you.

Have you considered other users of IS_ERR() in kernel/module/main.c too?

Perhaps it might be best to prepare a clean up for each applicable
subsystem in isolation.

Thanks for the patchset. However, I think we need a explanation for why
switching to IS_ERR_OR_NULL() is an improvement over the existing code.

IMHO, the necessity of IS_ERR_OR_NULL() often highlights a confusing or
flawed API design. It usually implies that the caller is unsure whether
a failure results in an error pointer or a NULL pointer. Rather than
doing a treewide conversion of this pattern, I believe it would be much
more meaningful to review these instances case-by-case and fix the
underlying APIs or caller logic instead.

Additionally, a treewide refactoring like this has the practical
drawback of creating unnecessary merge conflicts when backporting to
stable trees.

Kuan-Wei

IS_ERR_OR_NULL() should always be looked on with suspicion. Very
little should be returning some tri-state 'ERR' 'NULL' 'SUCCESS'
pointer. What does the middle condition even mean? IS_ERR_OR_NULL()
implies ERR and NULL are semanticly the same, so fix the things to
always use ERR.

If you want to improve things work to get rid of the NULL checks this
script identifies. Remove ERR or NULL because only one can ever
happen, or fix the source to consistently return ERR.

Not in any way supporting the original patch.  However, the pattern
ERR, NULL, PTR is used extensively in the dentry code of filesystems. 
See the try_lookup..() set of functions in fs/namei.c

The meaning is

PTR - I found it
NULL - It definitely doesn't exist
ERR - something went wrong during the lookup.

So I don't think you can blanket say this pattern is wrong.

James

Lots of places also would return ENOENT, I'd argue that is easier to
use..

But yes, I did use the word "suspicion" not blanket wrong :)

One thing you need to check for each of these cases is whether the tests
are actually correct.

There are certainly cases amongst those that you have identified where
the check for NULL is redundant.

For example, get_phy_device() never returns NULL, yet in your netdev
patch, you have at least one instance where the return value of
get_phy_device() is checked for NULL and IS_ERR() which you then
turn into IS_ERR_OR_NULL(). Instead, the NULL check should be dropped
(as a separate patch.)

clk_get_optional() returns NULL if the clk isn't present.

Drivers would just pass this to clk_put(). Your change here would cause
this pattern to emit a very big warning.

I don't think this change should be landed.

-most lists...
Hopefully anyone who might care about 9p is on fsdevel.

I second whoever it was who said this should be split and not send all
the patches to everyone...

FWIW v9fs_fid_lookup cannot return NULL -- and all its other callers
only check for IS_ERR() so if there is a corner case that does return
NULL then we have another problem -- so please drop the !fid check
instead.

(not that it matters much... But might as well do it right)

Added to for-next, we seem to be using IS_ERR_OR_NULL() already in a
few other places so this is makes sense for consistency. Thanks.

AFAICS it doesn't look possible for the argument to be anything other 
than valid at both callsites, so *both* conditions here seem in fact to 
be entirely redundant.

> Change generated with coccinelle.

Please use coccinelle responsibly. Mechanical changes are great for 
scripted API updates, but for cleanup, whilst it's ideal for *finding* 
areas of code that are worth looking at, the code then wants actually 
looking at, in its whole context, because meaningful cleanup often goes 
deeper than trivial replacement.

In particular, anywhere IS_ERR_OR_NULL() is genuinely relevant is 
usually a sign of bad interface design, so if you're looking at this 
then you really should be looking first and foremost to remove any 
checks that are already unnecessary, and for the remainder, to see if 
the thing being checked can be improved to not mix the two different 
styles. That would be constructive and (usually) welcome cleanup. Simply 
churning a bunch of code with this ugly macro that's arguably less 
readable than what it replaces, not so much.

Thanks,
Robin.
