[PATCH 1/1] HID-picoLCD: Deletion of unnecessary checks before three function calls

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 18:30:22 +0100

The functions backlight_device_unregister(), lcd_device_unregister() and
rc_unregister_device() test whether their argument is NULL and then
return immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Could either of you please bounce me the original patch? I don't think 
I've seen in in my mailbox (or it's too long time ago).

[PATCH] i2c-HID: Delete unnecessary checks before the function call "gpiod_put"

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2015 22:12:25 +0200

The gpiod_put() function performs also input parameter validation
by forwarding its single input pointer to the gpiod_free() function.
Thus the test around the calls is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Re: [PATCH] i2c-HID: Delete unnecessary checks before the function call "gpiod_put"

This one deserves some extra review because it introduces a call to:

	WARN_ON(extra_checks);

in gpiod_free().  That may or may not matter...

As Dan correctly pointed out, this is not as straightforward as it might 
seem on a firsr sight, because there is a WARN_ON() that might start 
triggering in case of !ihid->desc.

I think the gpiod case is the exception rather than the common rule
(most i2c-hid device we saw until recently were using irqs, not
gpios). So if I understand correctly, removing the check on ihid->desc
would raise a warning for most devices. This is IMO not a good thing,
so I would say NACK.

Mika might have a different opinion though.

Benjamin

The proposed update candidates are contained in the source
file "drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.c" from Linux next-20150708.

* i2c_hid_remove() function:
  Can it be tolerated here that the pointer "ihid->desc" might be eventually null?

* i2c_hid_probe() function:
  Is this implementation structured in such a way that a pointer for valid data
  will be usually passed for "ihid->desc" if the statements after the jump
  label "err" will be reached?

Markus

Again, in both case it is completely normal to have "ihid->desc ==
NULL" given that this field is only retrieved in case of an ACPI
device which does not declares an IRQ but a GPIO. Most ACPI devices I
saw are using a simple IRQ, and the OF instantiations of the driver
will definitively have ihid->desc null. So I do not want to have a
warning for most of i2c-hid devices out there (because I will have to
explain that this is completely normal again and again).

Benjamin

Would it make sense to annotate checks before such function calls
as "unlikely" then?

I don't see the benefits of this right now. These calls are not time
critical and it's not because today they are few devices with GPIOs
rather than IRQs that it will be the case all the time.
You can always submit a patch preventing coccinelle to raise this
warning, but maybe a simple comment in the code would be enough.

[PATCH] HID: Wacom: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kobject_put"

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 17:55:23 +0100

The kobject_put() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Applied to for-4.5/wacom.
