Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Correct and clean up the logic of acpi_parse_entries_array()
Date:   Mon, 20 Nov 2023 19:41:43 +0800

The original intention of acpi_parse_entries_array() is to return the
number of all matching entries on success. This number may be greater than
the value of the max_entries parameter. When this happens, the function
will output a warning message, indicating that `count - max_entries`
matching entries remain unprocessed and have been ignored.

However, commit 4ceacd02f5a1 ("ACPI / table: Always count matched and
successfully parsed entries") changed this logic to return the number of
entries successfully processed by the handler. In this case, when the
max_entries parameter is not zero, the number of entries successfully
processed can never be greater than the value of max_entries. In other
words, the expression `count > max_entries` will always evaluate to false.
This means that the logic in the final if statement will never be executed.

Commit 99b0efd7c886 ("ACPI / tables: do not report the number of entries
ignored by acpi_parse_entries()") mentioned this issue, but it tried to fix
it by removing part of the warning message. This is meaningless because the
pr_warn statement will never be executed in the first place.

Commit 8726d4f44150 ("ACPI / tables: fix acpi_parse_entries_array() so it
traverses all subtables") introduced an errs variable, which is intended to
make acpi_parse_entries_array() always traverse all of the subtables,
calling as many of the callbacks as possible. However, it seems that the
commit does not achieve this goal. For example, when a handler returns an
error, none of the handlers will be called again in the subsequent
iterations. This result appears to be no different from before the change.

This patch corrects and cleans up the logic of acpi_parse_entries_array(),
making it return the number of all matching entries, rather than the number
of entries successfully processed by handlers. Additionally, if an error
occurs when executing a handler, the function will return -EINVAL immediately.

This patch should not affect existing users of acpi_parse_entries_array().
