You can stash the associated resources in the above structure. That
should simplify some code below.

	How is that? One structure is per cpu, the other is per pmu
type in the system, they are actually completely independent and
intertwining them will only server to obfuscate the code.

Just to clarify, I am referring to "struct resources" you allocate for
use with the pmu platform device in the next patch.

Ah yes, I understood that for the later comment but for this one I thought you were suggesting nesting these too. Thanks for clarifying.

Ok fair point.

Bail out with error if the memory can't be allocated. Otherwise, we risk
silently failing to register a PMU type.

? Its not silent, it fails to allocate the space complains about it,
and therefor this pmu type is not created.

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean PMU type in the above comment. I
was thinking of the missed cpu in cpu_count.

If the allocation succeeds in the next iteration (as we don't break out
of the loop), we'll end up undercounting cpus that have this type of
pmu. In turn, this will lead to accessing beyond the allocated "struct
resource" in arm_pmu_acpi_gsi_res.

Oh! Yah, that is a good point. I guess I missed that when i converted from the fixed buffer (which couldn't have this problem).

Actually I think i'm going to add a bad_alloc flag to stop further allocation attempts in this function. That way in theory the other side of the problem doesn't occur either (aka we get one allocation that succeeds, then one that fails, and the cpu's get under counted for the one that succeeded).





Punit

In a system with a single
CPU this basically cancels the whole operation. If there is more than
one pmu, the remaining PMUs continue to have a chance of being
created, although if the memory allocation fails (this is pretty early
boot code) there is a high probability there is something seriously
wrong with the system.

+{

With the addition of the irq resources to struct pmu_types, you can just pass
the pmu structure here.

	Thats a point, but the lifetimes of the structures are
different and outside of their shared use in this single function
never really interact. I prefer not unnecessarily intertwine
independent data structures simply to reduce parameter counts for a
single function. Especially since it complicates cleanup because the
validity of the resource structure will have to be tracked relative to
its successful registration.
