[PATCH 0/3] zswap: Adjustments for three function implementations

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sun, 21 May 2017 10:20:03 +0200

Three update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (3):
  Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation in zswap_pool_create()
  Improve a size determination in zswap_frontswap_init()
  Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation in zswap_dstmem_prepare()

[PATCH 2/3] zswap: Improve a size determination in zswap_frontswap_init()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 20 May 2017 22:44:03 +0200

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This can occasionally happen when I am more unsure about the change acceptance
for a specific place.

This can also happen as a side effect if such a source code search pattern
will point hundreds of places out for further software development considerations.
How would you prefer to clarify the remaining update candidates there?

Partly, yes.

I am trying to achieve some software improvements also for special change patterns.
This approach can trigger corresponding communication difficulties.
How do you think about to resolve them by additional means besides mail exchange?

That can work. E.g. meeting at conferences often solved mail
communication problems.

For now, I still wonder why you were unsure about grouping the changes
into one patch? Maybe there is something to be learned?

I am curious to find out which other communication means could really help here.

I find my resources too limited at the moment to attend conferences on site.

How are the chances for further clarification by ordinary telephone calls?

I am varying the patch granularity for affected software areas to some degree.
But I came also places along where I got an impression for higher uncertainty.


> Maybe there is something to be learned?

This is also generally possible.

Would you like to extend the scope for the change pattern around questionable
error messages from a single source file to whole subsystem trees in Linux?

Markus
