[PATCH v9 2/8] drm/print: Fix and add support for NULL as first argument in drm_* macros

[PATCH v9 2/8] drm/print: Fix and add support for NULL as first argument in drm_* macros
Posted by Siddh Raman Pant 2 years, 3 months ago 
Comments say macros DRM_DEBUG_* are deprecated in favor of
drm_dbg_*(NULL, ...), but they have broken support for it,
as the macro will result in `(NULL) ? (NULL)->dev : NULL`.

Thus, fix them by separating logic to get dev ptr in a new
function, which will return the dev ptr if arg is not NULL.
Use it in drm_dbg_*, and also in __DRM_DEFINE_DBG_RATELIMITED,
where a similar (but correct) NULL check was in place.

Also, add support for NULL in __drm_printk, so that all the
drm_* macros will hence support NULL as the first argument.
This also means that deprecation comments mentioning pr_()*
can now be changed to the drm equivalents.

If I recall correctly, dev_*() handle a NULL dev pointer just fine. Do
we need to manually fall back to pr_*() ?

(NULL)->dev is invalid C. It's a macro, so preprocessor substitutes
that text directly, there is no evaluation. GCC will throw an error
regarding dereferencing a void* pointer.

I took drm_dev_printk (on line 261 of drm_print.c) as the reference,
wherein it uses a conditional for determining whether dev_printk or
printk should be called.

I suppose it is to avoid printing "(NULL device *)", which dev_printk
does if it gets a NULL device pointer (refer the definition on line
4831 of drivers/base/core.c). Though if I'm wrong, kindly let me know.

Thanks,
Siddh

You're right, it's probably best to avoid the "(NULL device *)".
