do_div() does a 64-by-32 division.
When the divisor is unsigned long, u64, or s64,
do_div() truncates it to 32 bits, this means it
can test non-zero and be truncated to zero for division.
This semantic patch is inspired by Mateusz Guzik's patch:
commit b0ab99e7736a ("sched: Fix possible divide by zero in avg_atom() calculation")

v3:
- also filter out safe consts for context mode.
- cleanup code.

v2:
- add a special case for constants and checking whether the value is obviously safe and no warning is needed.
- fix 'WARNING:' twice in each case.
- extend the warning to say "consider using div64_xxx instead".

* I suggest once more to adjust the dependency specifications for the usage
  of these functions by SmPL rules.

* Can the local variable “msg” be omitted?


> +coccilib.org.print_todo(p[0], construct_warnings("div64_ul"))

I suggest again to move the prefix “div64_” into the string literal
of the function implementation.


The SmPL code for two disjunctions could become shorter.

Markus

Most of the functions here are for all operation modes.

“div64_ul” indicates the function name we recommend.
As shown in the patch:

+def construct_warnings(suggested_fun):
+    msg="WARNING: do_div() does a 64-by-32 division, please consider 
using %s instead."
+    return  msg % suggested_fun
...
+coccilib.org.print_todo(p[0], construct_warnings("div64_ul"))

If we delete the prefix "div64_", it may reduce readability.

> 

You may suggest to modify it as follows:
+@@
+*do_div(f, \( l \| ul \| ul64 \| sl64 \) );

We agree with Julia:
I don't se any point to this.  The code matched will be the same in both
cases.  The original code is quite readable, without the ugly \( etc.

I got an other understanding for this software.

You added the information “also filter out safe consts for context mode”
to the patch change log.


>> * Can the local variable “msg” be omitted?

I would appreciate another fine-tuning also at this place.

The intention can be fine.

I suggest to use the text at an other place.


> it may reduce readability.

I find an other code variant also readable good enough.

Can the avoidance of duplicate source code (according to SmPL disjunctions)
trigger positive effects on run time characteristics and software maintenance?

Markus

Markus.  Please stop asking this question.  You are bothering people with
this advice, why don't _you_ figure out once and for all whether the change
that you suggest has any "positive effects on the run time
characteristics"?  Hint: it will not. You don't even have to run Coccinelle
to see that.  Just use spatch --parse-cocci on your two suggestions and you
will see that they expand to the same thing.  Coccinelle has a pass that
propagates disjunctions at the sub-statement level to the statement level.

This will not happen for a while.


> You are bothering people with this advice,

I present just another view.


> why don't _you_ figure out once and for all whether the change
> that you suggest has any "positive effects on the run time characteristics"?
> Hint: it will not.

* How much attention do you give to the software development principle
  "Don't repeat yourself"?

* Can the file size of a SmPL script matter a bit?


> Coccinelle has a pass that propagates disjunctions at the sub-statement level
> to the statement level.

This data processing can probably trigger further development considerations.

Markus

Acked-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@inria.fr>

This looks good to me.

A small detail is that you don't need the parentheses in:

@r depends on (org || report)@
