[PATCH 0/5] GTP: Fine-tuning for some function implementations

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 11:10:01 +0100

A few update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (5):
  Use kmalloc_array() in gtp_hashtable_new()
  Improve another size determination in ipv4_pdp_add()
  Adjust 12 checks for null pointers
  Rename jump labels in gtp_encap_enable()
  Rename jump labels in gtp_hashtable_new()

[PATCH 1/5] gtp: Use kmalloc_array() in gtp_hashtable_new()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2017 22:01:00 +0100

* Multiplications for the size determination of memory allocations
  indicated that array data structures should be processed.
  Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

  This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Replace the specification of data structures by pointer dereferences
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.

[PATCH 2/5] gtp: Improve another size determination in ipv4_pdp_add()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2017 22:24:08 +0100

Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

The rule about "sizeof(*p)" style of allocation is bogus and should be
abolished.

Rationale says that

    > The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability

In terms of line length, yes, "sizeof(*p)" wins most of the time.
However, the former variant clearly show the type of data, so you don't need
to look it up and makes it readily available to follow with tags or equivalent.

The correct way to prevent this kind of mistake is to not return "void
*" pointer
(at least most of the uses use typed allocation)

    #define lmalloc(T, gfp) (T*)_kmalloc(sizeof(T), (gfp))

Bacause of a cast changing type of pointer will be noticed,

The script "checkpatch.pl" pointed information out like the following.

Comparison to NULL could be written !…

Thus fix the affected source code places.
