[PATCH 0/8] Replacing malloc and the like with GLib's variants

[PATCH 0/8] Replacing malloc and the like with GLib's variants

[Mahmoud Mandour]

Inspired by the task in the Bite-sized tasks page, I've tried to change
some of the occurrences of malloc(), calloc(), and realloc() calls and
their respective free() calls. I also included some minor style
improvements that caused errors and warnings when supplied to the 
checkpatch.pl script.

At numerous places, the change is quite obvious. However, some other 
malloc() and the like have no immediately visible free() calls. Analysis
was done to trace the roots of each free() call to match each GLib function
with a g_free(), and every malloc(), realloc(), or calloc() call with a
call to free().

This series was resent due to some previous problems that are hopefully
resolved in this series.

[PATCH 1/8] bsd-user/elfload.c: Replaced calls to malloc/free with GLib variants

[Mahmoud Mandour]

Replaced the calls to malloc(), realloc(), and free() to their
equivalents in GLib's allocation functions in various places.

[PATCH 3/8] hw/audio/fmopl.c: Replaced calls to malloc with GLib's variants

[Mahmoud Mandour]

Replaced calls to malloc(), and free() to their equivalent
allocation functions from GLib.

Also added checking for null after ENV_CURVE allocation
following the same pattern of checking on preceeding
table allocations.

[PATCH 4/8] target/xtensa: Replaced malloc/free with GLib's variants

[Mahmoud Mandour]

Replaced the calls to malloc() and their respective calls to
free() with GLib's allocation and deallocation functions.

Removed null checking before calling g_free() because it's
not necessary and generates style errors.

[PATCH 5/8] util/compatfd.c: Replaced a malloc with GLib's variant

[Mahmoud Mandour]

Replaced a malloc() call and its respective free() call with
GLib's g_try_malloc() and g_free().

Also, did slight styling changes that were producing
style errors when using the checkpatch.pl script against
the file.

[PATCH 8/8] tools/virtiofsd: Replacing malloc-like calls with GLib's variants

[Mahmoud Mandour]

Changed calls to malloc(), calloc(), and realloc() with their
equivalent allocation functions in GLib, and replaced their
respective free() calls with g_free().

Allocation and deallocation of fuse_req structs, fuse_pollhandle
structs, fuse_session structs and many local variables are now
established through GLib's functions.

If it's unrelated, then maybe better do it in a separate patch.

Since this is only a very small allocation, I think it would be better to 
use g_malloc() here and then simply remove the "if (info == NULL) ..." part.

I thought so but I didn't know whether it was a so-small change
that it didn't require its own patch or not. I will amend that.

I was thinking of always maintaining the semantics of the existing
code and since g_malloc() does not behave like malloc() on
error, I refrained from using g_malloc() anywhere, but of course
I'll do it since it's the better thing to do.

I will split the patches to a two-patch series regarding the
util/compactfd.c file (one for the style change and one for
changing the malloc() call into g_malloc()) and send them
again, is that ok?

Keeping the semantics is normally a good idea, but the common sense in the 
QEMU project is to rather use g_malloc() for small allocations (if 
allocating some few bytes already fails, then the system is pretty much dead 
anyway), and only g_try_malloc() for huge allocations that really might fail 
on a healthy system, too.

We should likely add some text to our coding style document to make this 
more obvious...

Hello Mr. Stefan,

You're correct. I'm really sorry for such small and strangely obvious
errors.
If the patch is going to be ACKed, will you edit those problems or shall I
fix them and
resend the patch again alone?

Given this is start-up code I think you could use g_new instead of
g_try_new. As it will abort on no memory you can avoid the early return
check bellow. Also is elf_phdata never persists beyond this function you
could use g_autofree (and use g_steal_pointer on the one case when it is
returned if you need it)

That would allow you to get rid of a lot of free/g_frees

I would also split this patch, one for each function you convert.

This is initialisation code I think so you should be able to use
g_malloc() and drop the NULL checks.

Again g_autofree could be used, but if any of your static
initialisation fails won't the system fail to boot anyway?

So while there are some places where we may try to dynamically scale the
memory we allocate on failure of a large allocation generally memory
allocation failure is considered fatal (ergo g_malloc, no NULL check).
However some care has to be taken depending on where we are - for
example calling abort() because something the guest did triggered us to
try an allocate more memory than we could is a no no.

We could certainly be clearer in style.rst though.

Thank you for the valuable suggestions, these are obviously the better
way to go. I will hopefully employ them.
I'm now busy with my final exams. In a week or so, I will make the

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 576 bytes --]

Thank you for the valuable feedback. I tried as much as I could to maintain
the semantics as is, only changing the calls to GLib's functions.

To assure myself that I understood the directions of your feedback, the
initialization
of the tables can be done using g_malloc directly and all the null checks
for the tables
to be dropped. And that's because of the cruciality of this initialization
code.

Can you please elaborate more on how I would employ g_autofree in this
code? Are
you talking about the memory allocated for ``ptr`` in OPLCreate here?

Thanks
Mahmoud Mandour

We are also trying to improve the language in the coding style document
if you see the thread:
