Need to check if the calloc failed and return an error if it did.
Definitely, I completely missed that.
Hmm, should this warn if state is not zero and disabled is negative.
rtla timerlat hist/top will error out if save_cpu_idle_disable_state returns a negative value, so I don't think a warning is necessary here.
if (save_cpu_idle_disable_state(i) < 0) {
err_msg("Could not save cpu idle state.\n");
goto out_free;
}
Should probably have a check to see if saved_cpu_idle_disable exists.quoted
+ nr_states = cpuidle_state_count(cpu); + + if (nr_states == 0) + return 0; +As well as saved_cpu_idle_disable_state[cpu] exists. Just for robustness.
Right, that would help catch some possible bugs if restore_cpu_idle_disable_state is ever called before save_cpu_idle_disable_state. The values of saved_cpu_idle_disable_state and saved_cpu_idle_disable_state[cpu] have to be read anyway, checking for zero should not make any noticeable difference.
No need to check here. free() works fine with passing NULL to it.
Ah, I see, I need to check that for saved_cpu_idle_disable_state so that I won't be accessing null memory in the for loop, but not for saved_cpu_idle_disable_state[cpu], where I just call free(). Tomas
