To me, this looks like a nice recipe for future disasters when doing backports,
because I am pretty sure the "goto ..." that assumes the lock is
magically released
will fail horribly.

I would use scoped_guard() only for new code.

[Suman] Hi Wei,
I am new to the use of scoped_guard() and have a confusion here. Above, "goto failed_clk_ref" is getting called after scoped_guard() declaration and you are again doing scoped_guard() inside the goto label failed_clk_ref. Why is this double declaration needed?

You are probably the first to use these in netdev. Or one of the very
early adopters. As such, you should explain in a bit more detail why
these changes are safe.

This looks fine.

As Eric pointed out, it is not obvious what the semantics are
here. You are leaving the scope, so i hope it does not matter it is a
goto you are using to leave the scope. But a quick search did not find
anything to confirm this. So i would like to see some justification in
the commit message this is safe.

This is not obviously correct. Why has this condition moved?

I also personally don't like guard(). scoped_guard() {} is much easier
to understand.

In order to get my Reviewed-by: you need to drop all the plain guard()
calls. I'm also not sure as a community we want to see changes like
this.

Now that the kernel already supports scope-based resource management,
I think we should actively use this new mechanism. At least the result could
be safer resource management in the kernel and a lot fewer gotos.

The lock will be freed when it goes out of scope. And the second scope_guard() is
not nested in the first scope_guard().

According to the explanation of the cleanup attribute of gcc [1] and clang [2],
the cleanup attribute runs a function when the variable goes out of scope. So
the lock will be freed when leaving the scope.
In addition, I have seen cases of using goto statements in scope_guard() in
the gpiolib driver [3].

As you see, the assignment of ' pps_enable ' is protected by the 'tmreg_lock',
But the read operation of 'pps_enable' was not protected by the lock, so the
Coverity tool will complain a LOCK EVASION warning which may cause data
race to occur when running in a multithreaded environment. Of course, this
data race issue is almost impossible, so I modified it by the way. Because I don't
really want to fix it through another patch, unless you insist on doing so.

If the scope of the lock is from the time it is acquired until the function returns,
I think guard() is simpler. Of course, you may think scope_guard() is more reasonable
based on other considerations.

Why I do this is because I see more and more drivers converting to using
Scope-based resource management mechanisms to manage resources,
not just locks, but memory and some other resources. I think the community
should actively embrace this new mechanism.
