[PATCH] thunderbolt: Use common error handling code in update_property_block()
Posted by Markus Elfring 2 months ago 
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2024 09:39:16 +0200

Add a jump target so that a bit of exception handling can be better reused
at the end of this function implementation.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Under which circumstances would you follow advice more from the section
“7) Centralized exiting of functions” (according to a well-known information source)?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst?h=v6.11#n526

How do you think about to increase the application of scope-based resource management?

Markus

It is fine to use goto as it is described in the document you linked but
this what you are doing is certainly not fine, at least in the code I'm
maintaining:

out_unlock:
 	mutex_unlock(&xd->lock);
  	mutex_unlock(&xdomain_lock);
	return;

out_free_dir:
	tb_property_free_dir(dir);
	goto out_unlock;

This "goto out_unlock" adds another goto to upwards which makes it
really hard to follow because the flow is not anymore just downwards.

Would you like to benefit any more from the application of
scope-based resource management?

Hi,

This is the semi-friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.

Markus, you seem to have sent a nonsensical or otherwise pointless
review comment to a patch submission on a Linux kernel developer mailing
list.  I strongly suggest that you not do this anymore.  Please do not
bother developers who are actively working to produce patches and
features with comments that, in the end, are a waste of time.

Patch submitter, please ignore Markus's suggestion; you do not need to
follow it at all.  The person/bot/AI that sent it is being ignored by
almost all Linux kernel maintainers for having a persistent pattern of
behavior of producing distracting and pointless commentary, and
inability to adapt to feedback.  Please feel free to also ignore emails
from them.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot
