Subject: [PATCH][next] drm/komeda: remove redundant assignment to pointer disable_done

From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

The pointer disable_done is being initialized with a value that
is never read and is being re-assigned a little later on. The
assignment is redundant and hence can be removed.

Not really true, isn't it? The re-assignment is done under the condition that
crtc->state->active is true. disable_done will be used regardless after the if
block, so we can't skip this initialisation.

Not sure why Coverity flags this, but I would NAK this patch.

Best regards,
Liviu

I'm patching against the driver from linux-next so I believe this is OK
for that. I believe your statement is true against linux which does not
have commit:

It really does help reviewing patches when this is mentioned in the
commit message.

There is some debate about whether this should be mentioned as a Fixes
since it doesn't fix a bug. I initialy felt it shouldn't be, but now
I think enough people think it should be listed as Fixes that I must be
wrong. Either way, it's very useful information.

The other thing is that soon get_maintainer.pl will start CC'ing people
from the Fixes tag and right now Lowry Li is not CC'd so that's
unfortunate.

Hi Liviu:

Colin's code is right.

Following code I copied from linux-next, and I checked drm-misc, the
code are same.

struct komeda_pipeline *slave = kcrtc->slave;
//---- First initialization.
struct completion *disable_done = &crtc->state->commit->flip_done;
bool needs_phase2 = false;

DRM_DEBUG_ATOMIC("CRTC%d_DISABLE: active_pipes: 0x%x, affected: 0x%x\n",
drm_crtc_index(crtc),
old_st->active_pipes, old_st->affected_pipes);

if (slave && has_bit(slave->id, old_st->active_pipes))
komeda_pipeline_disable(slave, old->state);

if (has_bit(master->id, old_st->active_pipes))
needs_phase2 = komeda_pipeline_disable(master, old->state);

//---- Secondary initialization.
disable_done = (needs_phase2 || crtc->state->active) ?
NULL : &crtc->state->commit->flip_done;

//--- First using is here.
/* wait phase 1 disable done */
komeda_crtc_flush_and_wait_for_flip_done(kcrtc, disable_done);

So the first initialization with the delcaration is unnecessary.

And I also checked our internal testing branch which actually doesn't have
the first initialization. seems somethings wrong when lowry submit this to
upstream.

Hi Colin:

Thanks for the fix. I'll push it to drm-misc-fixes
