There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v2 3/8] crash_core: change parse_crashkernel() to support crashkernel=,high|low parsing
Posted by Baoquan He 2 years, 3 months ago
Now parse_crashkernel() is a real entry point for all kinds of
crahskernel parsing on any architecture.

And wrap the crahskernel=,high|low handling inside
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION ifdeffery scope.

Change -1 to -EINVAL?

This check can be moved outside of #ifdef. Because even '!high', it's completely
applicable. The overall adjustment is as follows:

-  	if (!high)
-  		return ret;

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION
	if (high && ret == -ENOENT) {
		... ...
		if (ret || !*crash_size)	//parse HIGH
		... ...
	}

	//At this point, *crash_size is not 0 and ret is 0.
	//We can also delete if (!*crash_size) above because it will be checked later.
#endif

	if (!*crash_size)
		ret = -EINVAL;

	return ret;

Thanks a lot for careful reviewing, Zhen Lei.

Here, it's fine to me, parse_crashkernel() returns 0 on success, other value
on failure. '-1' or '-EINVAL' is not different to me in this case. I can
update if you think '-EINVAL' is better.

Ditto.

Hmm, the current logic is much easier to understand. However, I may not
100% get your suggestion. Can you paste the complete code in your
suggested way? Do not need 100% correct code, just the skeleton of code logic
so that I can better understand it and add inline comment.

When crashkernel=,high is specified while crashkernel=,low is omitted,
the ret==-ENOENT, but we can't return ret directly. That is still an
acceptable way.

Oh, yes. Sorry, I didn't notice branch "ret==-ENOENT" didn't return. So "ret = 0;"
needs to be added.

	if (high && ret == -ENOENT) {
		... ...
		*high = true;

Thanks, Zhen Lei.

I paste the whole parse_crashkernel() as you suggested at bottom. Please
check if it's what you want. To me, both is fine to me. I have two minor
concerns to your suggested way.

1)
I took the "if (!high) return" way because except of x86/arm64, all
other architectures will call parse_crashkerne() and check
if *crash_size ==0. Please try 'git grep "parse_crashkernel(" arch'
and check those call sites. With that, we will have duplicated checking.

        ret = __parse_crashkernel(cmdline, system_ram, crash_size,
                                crash_base, NULL);
        if (!high)
                return ret;
2)
I actually like below branch and the code comment. It can give people
hint about what's going on in that case. Discarding it is a little pity.

        } else if (ret || !*crash_size) {
                /* The specified value is invalid */
                return -1;
        }

int __init parse_crashkernel(...)
{
	int ret;

	/* crashkernel=X[@offset] */
	ret = __parse_crashkernel(cmdline, system_ram, crash_size,
				crash_base, NULL);
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION
	if (high && ret == -ENOENT) {
		ret = __parse_crashkernel(cmdline, 0, crash_size,
				crash_base, suffix_tbl[SUFFIX_HIGH]);
		if (ret || !*crash_size)
			return -EINVAL;

		/*
		 * crashkernel=Y,low can be specified or not, but invalid value
		 * is not allowed.
		 */
		ret = __parse_crashkernel(cmdline, 0, low_size,
				crash_base, suffix_tbl[SUFFIX_LOW]);
		if (ret == -ENOENT) {
			*low_size = DEFAULT_CRASH_KERNEL_LOW_SIZE;
			ret = 0;
		} else if (ret) {
			return ret;
		}

		*high = true;
	}
#endif

	if (!*crash_size)
		ret = -EINVAL;

	return ret;
}

Add some patches to remove the duplicated checking of other ARCHs? After this
patch series upstreamed.

Except that "!*crash_size" and "(high && ret == -ENOENT)" needs special comments,
other common errors do not need to be described, I think. Even if some is required,
it should be placed in function __parse_crashkernel().

I resisted this in the first place, after rethinking, it makes sense.

Thanks, Lei.
