Provide two new helper macros to iterate over PCI device resources and convert users.quoted
Applied 2-7 to pci/resource for v6.4, thanks, I really like this!This is 09cc90063240 ("PCI: Introduce pci_dev_for_each_resource()") upstream now. Coverity complains about each use,It needs more clarification here. Use of reduced variant of the macro or all of them? If the former one, then I can speculate that Coverity (famous for false positives) simply doesn't understand `for (type var; var ...)` code.True, Coverity finds false positives. It flagged every use in drivers/pci and drivers/pnp. It didn't mention the arch/alpha, arm, mips, powerpc, sh, or sparc uses, but I think it just didn't look at those. It flagged both: pbus_size_io pci_dev_for_each_resource(dev, r) pbus_size_mem pci_dev_for_each_resource(dev, r, i) Here's a spreadsheet with a few more details (unfortunately I don't know how to make it dump the actual line numbers or analysis like I pasted below, so "pci_dev_for_each_resource" doesn't appear). These are mostly in the "Drivers-PCI" component. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ohOJwxqXXoDUA0gwopgk-z-6ArLvhN7AZn4mIlDkHhQ/edit?usp=sharing These particular reports are in the "High Impact Outstanding" tab.Where are we at? Are we going to ignore this because some Coverity reports are false positives?Looking at the code I understand where coverity is coming from: #define __pci_dev_for_each_res0(dev, res, ...) \ for (unsigned int __b = 0; \ res = pci_resource_n(dev, __b), __b < PCI_NUM_RESOURCES; \ __b++) res will be assigned before __b is checked for being less than PCI_NUM_RESOURCES, making it point to behind the array at the end of the last loop iteration.
Which is fine and you stumbled over the same mistake I made, that's why the documentation has been added to describe why the heck this macro is written the way it's written. Coverity sucks.
Rewriting the test expression as __b < PCI_NUM_RESOURCES && (res = pci_resource_n(dev, __b)); should avoid the (coverity) warning by making use of lazy evaluation.
Obviously NAK.
It probably makes the code slightly less performant as res will now be checked for being not NULL (which will always be true), but I doubt it will be significant (or in any hot paths).
