[PATCH V5 04/17] nvdimm/label: Include region label in slot validation
Posted by Neeraj Kumar 1 month ago
Prior to LSA 2.1 Support, label in slot means only namespace
label. But with LSA 2.1 a label can be either namespace or
region label.

Slot validation routine validates label slot by calculating
label checksum. It was only validating namespace label.
This changeset also validates region label if present.

In previous patch to_lsa_label() was introduced along with
to_label(). to_label() returns only namespace label whereas
to_lsa_label() returns union nd_lsa_label*

In this patch We have converted all usage of to_label()
to to_lsa_label()

Move the assignments of these so we only do them if they are relevant.
That should make the code more resilient as any use outside those scopes
will fire compiler warnings.

Trivial but if you keep the label_slot naming, then the diff gets a little
smaller, and it's easier to see where the code moved.  Don't worry about going just
over 80 chars. We are more relaxed these days as long as it helps readability.

Move this

and this down to the scopes where they are meaningful.
So under if (is_region_label() and the else.

What does this change have to do with region label validation during slot
validation?

This and the above seem like cleanups because efi_namespace_label_has()
already checks !ndd->cxl?  Was that the intent?  Perhaps as a separate
cleanup?

Rest of the patch looks reasonable,

Fixed it in V6

Hi Ira,

Actually above is required changes and not the cleanup. 
Earlier condition (!ndd->cxl && !efi_namespace_label_has(ndd, checksum))
was getting true (no further processing) in first case only if its a
region label which we don't want in current case.

And this condition (!efi_namespace_label_has(ndd, checksum)) returns false
(means proceed further) in case if its a region label (!!ndd->cxl).
