It was noticed that duplicte entries in the firmware table could cause

typo duplicte

an infinite loop in the firmware loading code if that entry failed to
load. Duplicate entries are a bug anyway and so should never happen.
Ensure they don't by tweaking the table validation code to reject
duplicates.

Here you're not really rejecting anything though, just printing an error (and even that only if the SELFTEST kconfig is selected). This would allow our CI to catch issues with patches sent to our ML, but IIRC the reported bug was on a kernel fork. We could disable the FW loading is the table for that particular blob type is in an invalid state, as it wouldn't be safe to attempt a load in that case anyway.
The validation code is rejecting duplicates. Whether the driver loads or not after a failed validation is another matter.

I was basically assuming that CI will fail on the error message and thus prevent such code ever being merged. But yeah, I guess we don't run CI on backports to stable kernels and such. Although, I would hope that anyone pushing patches to a stable kernel would run some testing on it first!

Any thoughts on a good way to fail the load? We don't want to just pretend that firmware is not wanted/required on the platform and just load the i915 module without the firmware. Also, what about the longer plan of moving the validation to a selftest. You can't fail the load at all then.
Actually, forgot we already have a INTEL_UC_FIRMWARE_ERROR status. That works fine for aborting the load. So just go with that and drop the plan to move to a selftest?

John.

I do actually like the idea of moving this code to a mock selftest. Maybe just add a comment above the tables making clear that duplicated entries are not allowed and will break the loading flow?
The point is about accidental breakages. The 'issue' was not an actual failure but that a failure could potentially occur if, for example, a patch got applied twice due to some backport error/confusion. Adding a comment doesn't help with that.

Given that it is trivial to return FIRMWARE_ERROR on a validation failure, I'm inclined to go with that for now. The validation is still only being done once (and moving it to _early time means we don't actually need the static bool at all) and the driver is guaranteed to not try to process a broken table and get confused. It is also instantly evident if a backport is broken for any reason without worrying about what kind of explicit testing may or may not be run.

For full m/m/p files, that can be done by simply tweaking the patch
level check to reject matching values. For reduced version entries,
the filename itself must be compared.
