[PATCH v2 1/8] selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings
Posted by Muhammad Usama Anjum 6 months, 1 week ago 
Enable -Wunreachable-code flag to catch dead code and fix them.

1. Remove the dead code and write a comment instead:
hmm-tests.c:2033:3: warning: code will never be executed
[-Wunreachable-code]
                perror("Should not reach this\n");
                ^~~~~~

2. ksft_exit_fail_msg() calls exit(). Remove the dead code.
split_huge_page_test.c:301:3: warning: code will never be executed
[-Wunreachable-code]
                goto cleanup;
                ^~~~~~~~~~~~

3. Remove duplicate inline.
pkey_sighandler_tests.c:44:15: warning: duplicate 'inline' declaration
specifier [-Wduplicate-decl-specifier]
static inline __always_inline

Thanks for this, I had this fix locally but never got to post it!

At that point the mount() call has succeeded so I think we do want to
keep the goto and just print the error message instead of calling
replace ksft_exit_fail_msg().

The cleanup tag does cleanup and then calls ksft_exit_fail_msg() without printing the
actual reason of failure. So current flow seems good where information about the error
is being printed.

My point is that with this patch, ksft_exit_fail_msg() still causes the
test to exit right away without the cleanup steps (i.e.
unmounting/removing the directory) being executed. Printing a specific
error message is good but we should also run the cleanup steps.
