[PATCH RESEND][next] rtl8xxxu: Fix fall-through warnings for Clang

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

In preparation to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, fix
multiple warnings by replacing /* fall through */ comments with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough; instead of letting the
code fall through to the next case.

Notice that Clang doesn't recognize /* fall through */ comments as
implicit fall-through markings.

It's not cool that you ignore the comments you got in [1], then after a
while mark the patch as "RESEND" and not even include a changelog why it
was resent.

I'm a bit confused. I replied to the same thread at the time. You can see
my response there. No one replied back. :/

Hm, this conversation looks like a miscommunication, mainly? I see
Gustavo, as requested by many others[1], replacing the fallthrough
comments with the "fallthrough" statement. (This is more than just a
"Clang doesn't parse comments" issue.)

This could be a tree-wide patch and not bother you, but Greg KH has
generally advised us to send these changes broken out. Anyway, this
change still needs to land, so what would be the preferred path? I think
Gustavo could just carry it for Linus to merge without bothering you if
that'd be preferred?

I'll respond with the same I did last time, fallthrough is not C and
it's ugly.

Instead of mutilating the kernel, Gustavo should invest in fixing the
broken clang compiler.

I understand your point of view, but this is not the consensus[1] of
the community. "fallthrough" is a macro, using the GCC fallthrough
attribute, with the expectation that we can move to the C17/C18
"[[fallthrough]]" statement once it is finalized by the C standards
body.

I don't know who decided on that, but I still disagree. It's an ugly and
pointless change that serves little purpose. We shouldn't have allowed
the ugly /* fall-through */ comments in either, but at least they didn't
mess with the code. I guess when you give someone an inch, they take a mile.

Last time this came up, the discussion was that clang refused to fix
their brokenness and therefore this nonsense was being pushed into the
kernel. It's still a pointless argument, if clang can't fix it's crap,
then stop using it.

As Kalle correctly pointed out, none of the previous comments to this
were addressed, the patches were just reposted as fact. Not exactly a
nice way to go about it either.

Do you mean changing the commit log to re-justify these changes? I
guess that could be done, but based on the thread, it didn't seem to
be needed. The change is happening to match the coding style consensus
reached to give the kernel the flexibility to move from a gcc extension
to the final C standards committee results without having to do treewide
commits again (i.e. via the macro).

No, I am questioning why Gustavo continues to push this nonsense that
serves no purpose whatsoever. In addition he has consistently ignored
comments and just keep reposting it. But I guess that is how it works,
ignore feedback, repost junk, repeat.

I was asking for feedback here[1] and here[2] after people (you and Kalle)
commented on this patch. How is that ignoring people? And -again- why
people ignored my requests for feedback in this conversation? It's a mystery
to me, honestly.

All you did was post a pointer to the fact that some other people
couldn't be bothered speaking out against the patch, and let it go in.
You haven't addressed any of the original concerns raised.

The big mistake here was of course to allow the pointless /* fallthrough
*/ changes to go in in the first place.

v1 was clearly rejected by Jes, so sending a new version without any
changelog or comments is not the way to go. The changelog shoud at least
have had "v1 was rejected but I'm resending this again because <insert
reason here>" or something like that to make it clear what's happening.

I agree with Greg. Please don't do cleanups like this via another tree
as that just creates more work due to conflicts between the trees, which
is a lot more annoying to deal with than applying few patches. But when
submitting patches please follow the rules, don't cut corners.

Jes, I don't like 'fallthrough' either and prefer the original comment,
but the ship has sailed on this one. Maybe we should just take it?

Why the fact that I replied to that original thread with the message
below is being ignored?

"Just notice that the idea behind this and the following patch is exactly
the same:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next.git/commit/?id=3f95e92c8a8516b745594049dfccc8c5f8895eea

I could resend this same patch with a different changelog text, but I
don't think such a thing is necessary. However, if people prefer that
approach, just let me know and I can do it.

Thanks
--
Gustavo"

Why no one replied to what I was proposing at the time?

It seems to me that the person that was ignored was actually me, and not the
other way around. :/

I don't believe it's a junk patch.
I believe your characterization of it as such is flawed.

You don't like the style, that's fine, but:

Any code in the kernel should not be a unique style of your own choosing
when it could cause various compilers to emit unnecessary warnings.

Please remember the kernel code base is a formed by a community with a
nominally generally accepted style.  There is a real desire in that
community to both enable compiler warnings that might show defects and
simultaneously avoid unnecessary compiler warnings.

This particular change just avoids a possible compiler warning.

Please go back and look at the thread. This patch fixes nothing, it
mutilates the code by introducing non C for the sole purpose of avoiding
to work with the Clang community to fix their broken compiler. The
author of this patch ignored previous feedback and just reposted the
same patch unaltered and when it was called out, the answer was other
people was fine with it. None of the issues raised have been addressed,
so yes, that makes the patch junk.

Thanks for this, Kalle.

Could you take this series too, please?
