[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] libqos: add a simple first-fit memory allocator

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] libqos: add a simple first-fit memory allocator

[John Snow]

This set collects two patches by Marc Marí already on the mailing list,
but goes further by adding a simple memory allocator that allows us to
track and debug freed memory, and optionally keep track of any leaks.


v2: use QTAILQ as a basis for the linked list implementation instead.
    Correct an error in the size of the initial node.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/4] libqos: add a simple first-fit memory allocator

[John Snow]

Implement a simple first-fit memory allocator that
attempts to keep track of leased blocks of memory
in order to be able to re-use blocks.

Additionally, allow the user to specify when
initializing the device that upon cleanup,
we would like to assert that there are no
blocks in use. This may be useful for identifying
problems in qtests that use more complicated
set-up and tear-down routines.

This functionality is used in my upcoming ahci-test v2
patch set, but I didn't see fit to enable it for any
existing tests, which will continue to operate the
same as they have prior.

This is subjective but macros like this should be avoided.  This macro does not
encapsulate anything substantial.  It forces the reader to jump to the
definition of this macro to understand the code, making code harder to read.

IMO a cleaner solution is to drop the macros:

  PCAllocOpts mask = PC_ALLOC_PARANOID | PC_ALLOC_LEAK_ASSERT;
  if (s->opts & mask == mask) {                                 (1)
      if ((node->addr != s->start) ||
          (node->size != s->end - s->start)) {
          fprintf(stderr, "Free list is corrupted.\n");
          if (s->opts & PC_ALLOC_LEAK_ASSERT) {                 (2)
              g_assert_not_reached();
          }
      }
  }

Now that I read the expanded code, a bug becomes exposed:

In (1) we check that PC_ALLOC_PARANOID and PC_ALLOC_LEAK_ASSERT are both set.
Then in (2) we check whether PC_ALLOC_LEAK_ASSERT is set.  But we already knew
that PC_ALLOC_LEAK_ASSERT must be set in (1), so I guess the logic should have
really been:

  if (s->opts & (PC_ALLOC_PARANOID | PC_ALLOC_LEAK_ASSERT)) {
      if ((node->addr != s->start) ||
          (node->size != s->end - s->start)) {
          fprintf(stderr, "Free list is corrupted.\n");
          if (s->opts & PC_ALLOC_LEAK_ASSERT) {
              g_assert_not_reached();
          }
      }
  }

For the same reasons as my previous comment, please don't hide straightforward
expressions behind a macro.

For the same reasons as my comments about the macros, these trivial functions
are boilerplate.  Why not use the QTAILQ macros directly?

(It would be good to hide the list implementation if this was an external API
and you want to avoid exposing the implementation details, but within this
source file there is no point in extra layers of indirection.)

For /at least/ the append and insert cases, I desired call-by-value 
semantics.
As a matter of taste, I find macros annoying for the reason that you 
cannot inline things such as:
mlist_insert(list, mlist_new(...));

but unlink is certainly superfluous, and just something I did for some 
consistency.

If there is a matter of style where in-line function call is to be 
avoided entirely, I'll just nix all of these trivial inlines.

Force of habit, but you're right. I'm not exporting the interface.

As a reviewer I prefer to see familiar APIs rather than a convenience
layer because it's extra stuff I need to keep in mind.  Sticking to the
APIs makes it quicker for other QEMU developers to parse the code.

That said, feel free to keep the functions if you want.

Seconded.

Can't say, as I haven't studied the patch in detail.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/4] qtest/ide: Uninitialize PC allocator

[John Snow]

Use the new call to pc_alloc_uninit
as a test for the new pathways.

The leak checking / assert pathways are
not enabled in this patch, leaving this
as an option to future test writers.

Looking pretty close, please CC Andreas Färber <afaerber@suse.de>.
