[RFC] PTR_ERR: return 0 if ptr isn't an error value.

[Rusty Russell]

Back in 2011, Uwe Kleine-König added the nonsensically-named
PTR_RET(), providing a means to avoid if() statements in code (commit 
fa9ee9c4b9).

Instead, just make PTR_ERR() return 0 if the pointer isn't an error
value.  This is harmless, since PTR_ERR() should have never been
passed a non-error value.  And GCC is usually smart enough to remove
the extra test if IS_ERR() has already been called.

My vmlinux text increased by 300 bytes:

I wonder in which situations gcc fails to be smart enough. Did you check
this?

I'd add a comment here that PTR_RET shouldn't be used anymore.

Is it worth to apply the same change to tools/virtio/linux/err.h to
minimize the chance for later surprises?
Also scripts/coccinelle/api/ptr_ret.cocci starts giving false warnings.

Other than that I think the change is fine.

For a random example, here is a function that currently uses PTR_RET:

static int __net_init iptable_raw_net_init(struct net *net)
{
        struct ipt_replace *repl;

        repl = ipt_alloc_initial_table(&packet_raw);
	if (repl == NULL)
                return -ENOMEM;
        net->ipv4.iptable_raw =
                ipt_register_table(net, &packet_raw, repl);
	kfree(repl);
        return PTR_RET(net->ipv4.iptable_raw);
}

If it becomes return PTR_ERR(...); at the end, won't it look like the 
function always fails?

Good q.  I just wrote a simple test to confirm that GCC usually did,
then compared the text sizes.  Since it was bigger, I assume GCC isn't
doing it all the time.

Hmm, first change is in do_debug.  Ah, no surprise here:

	if (notify_die(DIE_DEBUG, "debug", regs, PTR_ERR(&dr6), error_code,
							SIGTRAP) == NOTIFY_STOP)
		goto exit;

Huh?  dr6 is on the stack?  Ancient, fixed.

I'll wade through the other differences after the weekend...

Cheers,
Rusty.

That is a valid point, though in this case the reader will know that
can't be the case.

On the other hand, there's an incremental learning curve cost to every
convenience function we add.  There are only 50 places where we use
PTR_RET(), so it's not saving us very much typing over the clearest
solution: open-coding the test.

I think using PTR_ERR() is a less bad solution than promoting PTR_RET,
which has a non-obvious name.

Cheers,
Rusty.

Will a longer name make the function more obvious?
	PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() ?
	PTR_ERR0() ?
PTR_ERR() can then stay simple for cases where we know we
are on the error path.

I was thinking of something along those lines.  And in that case, PTR_ERR
could stay without the additional test.

OK, sold :)

Will send out a series now with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO.

[PATCH 1/9] PTR_RET is now PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO

[Rusty Russell]

True, it's often used in return statements, but after much bikeshedding
it's probably better to have an explicit name.

(I tried just putting the IS_ERR check inside PTR_ERR itself and gcc
usually generated no more code.  But that clashes current expectations
of how PTR_ERR behaves, so having a separate function is better).

[PATCH 3/9] s390: Replace weird use of PTR_RET.

[Rusty Russell]

Saves repeating "(void __force *)__uptr" but it's less clear.  Using
the output of PTR_RET() to determine the error rather than just
testing IS_ERR() is odd.

For example, I *assume* __gptr_to_uptr() never returns NULL?  Because
the __ret would be 0 for the old code.  The new version is clearer, IMHO:
it would try to get_user() on that address.

If you hate this variant, I can just s/PTR_RET/PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO/ instead.

[PATCH 4/9] acpi: Replace weird use of PTR_RET.

[Rusty Russell]

This functions is really weird.  It sets rc to -ENOMEM, then overrides
it.  It was converted to PTR_RET in a1458187 when it should have
simply been rewritten.

This version makes it more explicit, with a single IS_ERR() test.

[Rusty Russell]

62edab905 changed the argument to notify_die() from dr6 to &dr6, but weirdly,
used PTR_ERR() to cast it to a long.  Since dr6 is on the stack, this is
an abuse of PTR_ERR().  Cast to long, as per kernel standard.

The normal expectation for ERR_PTR() is to put a negative errno into a

pre-git), which is probably clearer with an explicit cast.

No good one.  Changed.

Cheers,

Subject: mm/oom_kill: remove weird use of ERR_PTR()/PTR_ERR().

The normal expectation for ERR_PTR() is to put a negative errno into a
pointer.  oom_kill puts the magic -1 in the result (and has since
pre-git), which is probably clearer with an explicit cast.

Ok, if it's confusing I won't mind if it gets changed. I intended to
keep the code as short as possible, but.. ;)

__gptr_to_uptr() could return 0 and it's not an error case. In that case
it should indeed try a to get_user() on that address.

Your patch is fine.

x86: Remove weird PTR_ERR() in do_debug

62edab905 changed the argument to notify_die() from dr6 to &dr6,
but weirdly, used PTR_ERR() to cast it to a long.  Since dr6 is
on the stack, this is an abuse of PTR_ERR().  Cast to long, as
per kernel standard.
