Subject: [PATCH] scripts: coccinelle: allow list_entry_is_head() to use pos
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2021 10:58:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210730095856.2038286-1-daniel.thompson@linaro.org> (raw)
Currently use_after_iter.cocci generates false positives for code of the
following form:
~~~
list_for_each_entry(d, &ddata->irq_list, node) {
if (irq == d->irq)
break;
}
if (list_entry_is_head(d, &ddata->irq_list, node))
return IRQ_NONE;
~~~
[This specific example comes from drivers/power/supply/cpcap-battery.c]
Most list macros use list_entry_is_head() as loop exit condition meaning it
is not unsafe to reuse pos (a.k.a. d) in the code above.
Let's avoid reporting these cases.

Notes:
I'm pretty much a complete beginner w.r.t. SmPL. This is written
entirely by finding previous fixes and emulating them!
However I did test it by running the checker across the current kernel
tree. The changes reduced the error count by four... which was small
enough for me to eyeball each one and check they match the pattern I
was targetting.
