[PATCH 2/4] drm/i915: BUG() if we can't lookup_power_well()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



None of the current lookup_power_well() callers are actually checking
for NULL return values, they all just use the pointer right away.
Replacing these theoretical segfaults with BUG()s at least makes our
code a little more explicit to the reader.

We can only hit this NULL/BUG() condition if we try to lookup a power
well that isn't defined on a given platform. If that ever happens, we
have to fix our code, making it lookup the correct power well. Because
of this, I don't think it's worth trying to implement error checking
in every caller. Improving our CI system will be a better use of our
time once a bug is found in the wild.
