[PATCHv2] usb: typec: qcom-pmic-typec: simplify allocation
Posted by Rosen Penev 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Change kzalloc + kcalloc to just kzalloc with a flexible array member.

Add __counted_by for extra runtime analysis when requested.

Move counting assignment immediately after allocation as required by
__counted_by.

Hi Rosen.

Thanks for your patch.

I have the same feedback as Greg gave you previously on this.

Each line-item in your log should really be its own patch i.e. v3 should 
be three patches

[PATCH v3 1/3] Change kzalloc + kcalloc to just kzalloc with a flexible 
array member.

[PATCH v3 2/3] Add __counted_by for extra runtime analysis when requested.

[PATCH v3 3/3] Move counting assignment immediately after allocation as 
required by __counted_by.

Or something pretty close to that.

There are several reasons for that

1. Bisectability
    The ability to more easily bisect patches.

2. Logical separation
    If a change deserves its own line-item in a patch
    then that change almost certainly deserves its own patch.

3. Mixing stuff up in a big patch is confusing
    I look at a commit log and see lots of things going on in one go.
    I as a reviewer or say someone tracking -stable and deciding which
    patches to pull into my tree can't look at a patch a "just know" what
    it is doing.

So v3 should please

- Have a cover letter
- Contain three patches one for each logical change

Oh and reason 4 is the most important !

Patch count bragging rights !

This is probably the only one worth anything. I'm getting requests
elsewhere to add __counted_by though.

2 and 3 as you laid out should be the same. 2 without 3 breaks runtime analysis.

Maybe some other time.

That's just pointless churn.

Obviously the most important part of all.

In all seriousness though, just break it up a bit plz/ty.
