Betreff: [PATCH] net: sunrpc: Fix 'snprintf' return value check in 
'do_xprt_debugfs'

'snprintf' returns the number of characters which would have been written
if enough space had been available, excluding the terminating null byte.
Thus, the return value of 'sizeof(buf)' means that the last character
has been dropped.

AW: [PATCH 1/2 v3] net: ethernet: ti: fix some return value check of cpsw_ale_create()

2020-05-20 Thread Walter Harms
just a notice:

from my casual observation i noticed that most people expect
a function to return NULL on error (as seen here). So i would suggest
to return NULL and (if needed) the error code otherwise.

Betreff: [PATCH 1/2 v3] net: ethernet: ti: fix some return value check of 
cpsw_ale_create()

cpsw_ale_create() can return both NULL and PTR_ERR(), but all of
the caller only check NULL for error handling. This patch convert
it to only return PTR_ERR() in all error cases, and the caller using
IS_ERR() instead of NULL test.

AW: [PATCH] rtlwifi: rtl8192ee: remove redundant for-loop

2020-05-15 Thread Walter Harms
if someone has same spare time,
this driver need a bit more love ...

SO far i can see in rtl92ee_phy_iq_calibrate:
* IQK_MATRIX_REG_NUM should be used instead 8 hardcoded.
* the for-loop in the beginning is obfuscating that it sets  simply 
final_candidate

this can be cleaned:
  reg_e94 = result[final_candidate][0];
  rtlphy->reg_e94 = reg_e94;
  reg_e9c = result[final_candidate][1];
  rtlphy->reg_e9c = reg_e9c;

only reg_e94, reg_ea4 is used later ?

the loop and use index 3 instead.

switch (bmcr & mask) {

 speed = SPEED_1000;

case  BMCR_SPEED100:
 speed = SPEED_100;
 break;

Betreff: [PATCH] net: dsa: sja1105: fix speed setting for 10 MBPS

From: Colin Ian King 

The current logic for speed checking will never set the speed to 10 MBPS
because bmcr & BMCR_SPEED10 is always 0 since BMCR_SPEED10 is 0. Also
the erroneous setting where BMCR_SPEED1000 and BMCR_SPEED100 are both
set causes the speed to be 1000 MBS.  Fix this by masking bps and checking
for just the expected settings of BMCR_SPEED1000, BMCR_SPEED100 and
BMCR_SPEED10 and defaulting to the unknown speed otherwise.

the loop here seems also pointless, so you can eliminate i.

Re: [PATCH v3 04/21] ppp: exit_net cleanup checks added

2017-11-06 Thread walter harms
Hello Vasily Averin,
just a general hint:
when you send new versions of a patch please document also
what you have changed. Here an example from an other ML:

The problematic code looks like this:

res_seq = res_hdr->xd_hdr.length_sn & TB_XDOMAIN_SN_MASK;
res_seq >>= TB_XDOMAIN_SN_SHIFT;

TB_XDOMAIN_SN_SHIFT is 27, and right shifting a u8 27 bits is always
going to result in zero.  The fix is to declare these variables as u32.

Fixes: d1ff70241a27 ("thunderbolt: Add support for XDomain discovery protocol")
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter

v2: I accidentally sent this through the wrong list, so I'm resending to
netdev.  Also Mika asked me to split it up because the Fixes tags
are different for these patches.


please notice the V2. that tell the reader what has changes against
the V1.

it is std. practice to have the pattern:
 a=b;
 if (a == c) ...
maybe that can be done also here.
 stat = readl(card->plx + PLX_MAILBOX_5);
 if ( stat != 0)

I am not sure, i would wait a bit and see if what improves readability.
as Kevin Dawson pointed out: this is a sort here.
Maybe there a nice way to do something like that (i do not know):

case 3:
  re_sort_routes(nr_node, 1,2)
case 2:
  re_sort_routes(nr_node, 0,1)
case 1:
  break;

The question is: Is the sorted list needed or simply the maximum ?

NTL is a good thing to chop down the function in smaller digestible
peaces.

Good idea, a bit of nit picking ..
does ix_ has a special meaning ? otherwise x,y would be sufficient.
>From the code below i can see: y=x+1 Perhaps that can be used.

kernel.h has a swap() macro. so you can 
swap(nr_node->routes[x],nr_node->routes[y]);

hope that helps,

This is hard to read, perhaps it gets better when the result is stored in a

something like:
int isbetween=dst < info->dport[0] ||dst > info->dport[1] ;
int state=NF_INVF(info, EBT_IP_DPORT, isbetween );

if ( state )
return false;

Also perhaps !netif_running(dev) should better return ENODEV.

if someone cares .. the err=0 in the the line above the patch is also useless
because err is never used again. Merging both if will save 1 indent level.

 err = mall_replace_hw_filter(tp, new, (unsigned long) new);

yes, but because there is nothing to do you could return directly

We have a function where the argument is ignored and the rest is const ?

emac_ethtool_get_regs_len seems the only user. So it would be fairly easy to
move that into that function.

What is about a comment like:
/*
The magic constant 4 dates back to the days when KISS was handled by the SLIP 
driver where it had the
 symbol name SL_MODE_AX25.

maybe i am missing something here but why do you need ptr ?

The use of count looks even more confusing it is stored in
 dbg->inlen, *pos and is returned.
is that realy needed ?

In this case

you could use

real_len=dev->hard_header_len-len;

if (real_len < 0)
...
if (capable(CAP_SYS_RAWIO))
memset(ll_header + len, 0,real_len);
..

IMHO that makes the code more clear.

I would write that a bid different to reduce indent

(note: totaly untested just reviewing)

if (conf->fd < 0) {
file = conf->file;
if (!file)

}
else
{
file = fget(conf->fd);
if (!file)
return -EBADF;

fput(file);

Hi Manish,
i would like to ask an other question. Why do you choose this way ?
Basicly you have a
#define QLCNIC_DEV_NPAR_OPER_TIMEO
idc->vnic_wait_limit=QLCNIC_DEV_NPAR_OPER_TIMEO;
while ( ... --idc->vnic_wait_limit)

Do you need the time it took to chance the state ?

Look at Dan patches, there is a whole list that shows that programmers are
terrible at counting backwarts. Maybe it is possible to change the code into
something like

while (  cnt++ < idc->vnic_wait_limit)

this way you have a flexible limit, and it is better to understand for others
what you want to archive.

just my 2 cents,

It is a good custom to have action and check close together, so this may be more
obvious for future readers:
struct tnode *kv;
struct key_vector *l;

kv = kmem_cache_alloc(trie_leaf_kmem, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!kv)

hi florian,
i am on the side of error, the code increase is marginal and the speed penalty 
also, so why not ?
you make sure that an overflow may never happen, and the rest in name gets 
zeroed.

The problem is that when the error occurs it may be later than the actual 
changeset.
NTL it is an hint, and if you feel ok with it and the maintainer has no objects 
i have no problems either.

2006-11-01 Thread walter harms

hi Florian,

These line
+   strcpy(bcbearer->media.name, "tipc-multicast");

i gues that means tipc_bclink_name ?
an even more secure version could be like this:


strncpy(bcbearer->media.name,sizeof(bcbearer->media.name),tipc_bclink_name);

(in case someone ever changes the size of cbearer->media.name or 
tipc_bclink_name and the hope
that wchat_t will never reach the kernel)
