      remove lots of IS_ERR_VALUE abuses · 287980e4
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
      pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
      argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
      on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
      unsigned type.
      
      However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
      argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
      8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.
      
      Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
      were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
      users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.
      
      This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
      on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
      moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
      because there are probably still architecture specific users
      elsewhere.
      
      Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
      using 'if (err)' or 'if (err < 0)'.
      The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
      is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
      the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
      For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
      are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.
      
      I was using this definition for testing:
      
       #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL && \
             unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) >= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))
      
      which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
      the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
      to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
      warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.
      
      I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
      up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
      the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
      (fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
      asked me to send the whole thing again.

      dma, mm/pat: Rename dma_*_writecombine() to dma_*_wc() · f6e45661
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      Rename dma_*_writecombine() to dma_*_wc(), so that the naming
      is coherent across the various write-combining APIs. Keep the
      old names for compatibility for a while, these can be removed
      at a later time. A guard is left to enable backporting of the
      rename, and later remove of the old mapping defines seemlessly.
      
      Build tested successfully with allmodconfig.
      
      The following Coccinelle SmPL patch was used for this simple
      transformation:
      
      @ rename_dma_alloc_writecombine @
      expression dev, size, dma_addr, gfp;
      @@
      
      -dma_alloc_writecombine(dev, size, dma_addr, gfp)
      +dma_alloc_wc(dev, size, dma_addr, gfp)
      
      @ rename_dma_free_writecombine @
      expression dev, size, cpu_addr, dma_addr;
      @@
      
      -dma_free_writecombine(dev, size, cpu_addr, dma_addr)
      +dma_free_wc(dev, size, cpu_addr, dma_addr)
      
      @ rename_dma_mmap_writecombine @
      expression dev, vma, cpu_addr, dma_addr, size;
      @@
      
      -dma_mmap_writecombine(dev, vma, cpu_addr, dma_addr, size)
      +dma_mmap_wc(dev, vma, cpu_addr, dma_addr, size)
      
      We also keep the old names as compatibility helpers, and
      guard against their definition to make backporting easier.
