[PATCH 1/2] oidmap: make oidmap_free independent of struct layout

[Abhishek Kumar]

c8e424c introduced hashmap_free_entries, which can free any struct
pointer, regardless of the hashmap_entry field offset.

oidmap does not make use of this flexibilty, hardcoding the offset to
zero instead. Let's fix this by passing struct type and member to
hashmap_free_entries.

Additionally, removes an erroneous semi-colon at the end of
hashmap_free_entries macro.

[PATCH 2/2] oidmap: rework iterators to return typed pointer

[Abhishek Kumar]

87571c3 modified hashmap_iter_next to return a hashmap_entry pointer
instead of void pointer.

However, oidmap_iter_next is unaware of the struct type containing
oidmap_entry and explicilty returns a void pointer.

Rework oidmap_iter_* to include struct type and return appropriate
pointer. This allows for compile-time type checks.

I'm not sure how much this improves anything.

We're now telling the hashmap code how to get to our "struct
oidmap_entry" pointer by using the correct offset there. But we know
that offset will always be 0, because we put our internal hashmap entry
at the start of oidmap_entry.

What you can't do is:

  struct foo {
    int first_member;
    struct oidmap_entry not_the_first_member;
  };

and work directly with "struct foo" pointers. You have to convert
oidmap_entry pointers into foo pointers with container_of() or similar.
And that is true both before and after your patch.

That said, I don't mind doing this as a cleanup; there's a subtle
dependency on the location of internal_entry within object_entry,
and this would move towards getting rid of it.

Yes, I think returning a pointer to an oidmap_entry makes sense. And
then we get type safety, and anybody who wants embed an oidmap_entry can
use container_of() to get back to their original struct.

But...

This cast is turning a hashmap_entry into whatever type the caller
passed in.  But it's doing it with a straight cast. We know that
hashmap_entry and oidmap_entry pointers are equivalent, but we don't
know where the oidmap_entry is with respect to the user's type.

I think oidmap_iter_next() should continue to be a function that returns
an oidmap_entry pointer (and use container_of_or_null() to get to it
from the hashmap_entry, even though we know the offset is 0).

And then the caller can either use container_of() to get to their
original struct, or we can provide a helper macro. See the difference
between hashmap_iter_first() and hashmap_iter_first_entry().

There's no hashmap_iter_next_entry(). There could be, but instead it
skipped straight to hashmap_for_each_entry(), which uses an offset
within the variable rather than the type. But likewise, we could add
oidmap_for_each_entry() here.

This works because "test_entry" has the oidmap_entry at the start.

But it wouldn't work with a struct where that wasn't the case, nor would
it provide any compile-time safety (because of the cast).

Note that if we do want to support that and get type safety (and I think
it is worth doing), oidmap_get() would need similar treatment (it
returns a void pointer, but it is really a pointer to an oidmap_entry).
And I guess oidmap_put() and oidmap_remove(), which returns pointers to
existing entries.

[PATCH v3 3/3] oidmap: return oidmap_entry pointers

[Abhishek Kumar]

oidmap_entry is usually embedded as first member of user data
structures. Since oidmap is unaware of structure, it returns an void
pointer for oidmap_get(), oidmap_put() and oidmap_remove().

This pointer is rather a pointer to a oidmap entry. Teach the functions
to return a oidmap_entry pointer and add helper macros to return
pointers to container struct.
