[PATCH 0/3] s390/arm/arm64: include: asm: atomic.h: use 'unsigned int' and 'atomic_t' instead of 'unsigned long' for atomic_*_mask()

[Chen Gang]

For atomic_*_mask(), the 'atomic_t' is 32-bit, so for the 'mask', also
need mach it.


Patch 1/3: s390: include: asm: atomic.h: use 'unsigned int' instead of
'unsigned long' for atomic_*_mask().

Patch 2/3: arm: include: asm: atomic.h: use 'unsigned int' and 'atomic'
instead of 'unsigned long' for atomic_clear_mask().

Patch 3/3: arm64: include: asm: atomic.h: use 'unsigned int' and
'atomic_t' instead of 'unsigned long' for atomic_clear_mask().

[PATCH 1/3] s390: include: asm: atomic.h: use 'unsigned int' instead of 'unsigned long' for atomic_*_mask()

[Chen Gang]

The type of 'v->counter' is always 'int', and related inline assembly
code also process 'int', so use 'unsigned int' instead of 'unsigned
long' for the 'mask'.

In current kernel wide source, for arm, only s390 scsi drivers use

I reckon this should be int (the mask parameter is unsigned, but
atomic_t.counter is signed).

This is now identical to asm-generic/atomic.h. I wonder whether we could
just #include that file for the ARMv6 case? You'd need to check the
differences carefully.

Finally, I still question the need for the clear_mask function anyway. We
don't implement set_mask, and these functions are only used by either other
arch code or in drivers that don't work on ARM anyway.

For 'ldrex' and 'strex' (loading/storing instruction), it is really
better to match 'atomic_t.counter', but for 'bic' (operating
instruction), it is better to match 'mask'.

In my opinion, for signed/unsigned, 'operating' has higher priority than
'loading/storing' (especially for *mask functions, by default, suggest
using unsigned).

Commonly, for loading/storing (e.g. 'ldrex', 'strex'), must be sure of
bits wide (signed/unsigned will not cause real issues), but for
operating, signed/unsigned may cause real issues.

If most of functions for ARMv6 case can use "asm-generic/atomic.h", your
idea sounds good to me, although we don't need 'atomic_set_mask' (it is
inconsistent with 'atomic_clear_mask' in "asm-generic/atomic.h").

Hmm... can we remove atomic_*_mask() for both arm and arm64?

It seems before get a conclusion, it is necessary to let arm and arm64
pass 'allmodconfig' firstly (and then try to remove these functions to
see the compiling result).

I will/should try 'allmodconfig' for them, but excuse me, it needs
waiting (I am just trying 'arc' architecture with 'allmodconfig', and
already delayed, because I have no enough time resources on it :-( ).

Yes!

OK, thanks.

Hmm... firstly, you mentioned "except architectures, this is only used
under s390" (so I reply we need follow s390), and then you mentioned
"they are useless for arm/arm64" (so I ask whether it can be removed).

Excuse me, as a 'programmer' (at least, I am a 'programmer'), when
programming (assume our discussing belongs to programming), I have to
consider precisely (especially for confirmation words).  ;-)

I will send one patch for removing it from arm and arm64.

Thanks.

[PATCH] arm/arm64: remove atomic_clear_mask() in "include/asm/atomic.h"

[Chen Gang]

In current kernel wide source code, except other architectures, only
s390 scsi drivers use atomic_clear_mask(), and arm/arm64 need not
support s390 drivers.

So remove atomic_clear_mask() from "arm[64]/include/asm/atomic.h".

Is it really worth removing such a primitive?
If someone needs it later he has to implement it from scratch and
introduces bugs...

The version we have (on ARM64 anyway) already has bugs. Given the choice
between fixing code that has no callers and simply removing it, I'd go for
the latter.

Yeah, if it's broken and has no real users, send it to hell. :)

OK, thanks.


Hmm... at least, the original API definition is not well enough: "need
use 'unsigned int' and 'atomic_t' instead of 'unsigned long' for the
type of parameters".

But can we say "under arm64, it must be a bug"? (although I agree it is
very easy to let callers miss using it -- then may cause issue).

In my opinion, it belongs to "API definition issue" not implementation
bug: "if all callers are carefully enough, it will not make issues"
(e.g. in "./kernel" sub-system, we can meet many such kinds of things).
