From c724f193619c896621bf5818d71ce77437f49a06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yury Norov Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2018 15:38:02 -0800 Subject: bitmap: new bitmap_copy_safe and bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 This patchset replaces bitmap_{to,from}_u32array with more simple and standard looking copy-like functions. bitmap_from_u32array() takes 4 arguments (bitmap_to_u32array is similar): - unsigned long *bitmap, which is destination; - unsigned int nbits, the length of destination bitmap, in bits; - const u32 *buf, the source; and - unsigned int nwords, the length of source buffer in ints. In description to the function it is detailed like: * copy min(nbits, 32*nwords) bits from @buf to @bitmap, remaining * bits between nword and nbits in @bitmap (if any) are cleared. Having two size arguments looks unneeded and potentially dangerous. It is unneeded because normally user of copy-like function should take care of the size of destination and make it big enough to fit source data. And it is dangerous because function may hide possible error if user doesn't provide big enough bitmap, and data becomes silently dropped. That's why all copy-like functions have 1 argument for size of copying data, and I don't see any reason to make bitmap_from_u32array() different. One exception that comes in mind is strncpy() which also provides size of destination in arguments, but it's strongly argued by the possibility of taking broken strings in source. This is not the case of bitmap_{from,to}_u32array(). There is no many real users of bitmap_{from,to}_u32array(), and they all very clearly provide size of destination matched with the size of source, so additional functionality is not used in fact. Like this: bitmap_from_u32array(to->link_modes.supported, __ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS, link_usettings.link_modes.supported, __ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NU32); Where: #define __ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NU32 \ DIV_ROUND_UP(__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS, 32) In this patch, bitmap_copy_safe and bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 are introduced. 'Safe' in bitmap_copy_safe() stands for clearing unused bits in bitmap beyond last bit till the end of last word. It is useful for hardening API when bitmap is assumed to be exposed to userspace. bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 functions are replacements for bitmap_{from,to}_u32array. They don't take unneeded nwords argument, and so simpler in implementation and understanding. This patch suggests optimization for 32-bit systems - aliasing bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 to bitmap_copy_safe. Other possible optimization is aliasing 64-bit LE bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 to more generic function(s). But I didn't end up with the function that would be helpful by itself, and can be used to alias 64-bit LE bitmap_{from,to}_arr32, like bitmap_copy_safe() does. So I preferred to leave things as is. The following patch switches kernel to new API and introduces test for it.
