I did address this in my reply to your review, as explained there, the check + free on test_firmware before calling firmware_request_platform() is necessary because test_firmware may be non NULL when entering the function (continued below) ...
But now some more feedback: These two:quoted
+ mutex_lock(&test_fw_mutex); + release_firmware(test_firmware);You are doing this because this is a test, but a typical driver will do this after, and we don't loose anything in doing this after. Can you move the mutex lock and assign the pointer to a temporary used pointer for the call, *after* your call. But since your test is not using any interfaces to query information about the firmware, and you are just doing the test in C code right away, instead of say, using a trigger for later use in userspace, you can just do away with the mutex lock and make the call use its own pointer: rc = firmware_request_platform(&tmp_test_firmware, name, dev); if (rc) { ... } /* Your test branch code goes here */ I see no reason why you use the test_firmware pointer.
I agree that using a private/local firmware pointer instead of test_firmware and dropping the mutex calls is better. I will make this change for v12 of this series. I'll send out a v12 once the remarks from Andy Lutomirski's have also been discussed. Regards, Hans
