[PATCH v8 3/8] x86/e820: Add infrastructure to refactor e820__range_{update,remove}

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

 



__e820__range_update and e820__range_remove had a very similar flow in
its implementation with a few lines different from each other, the
lines that actually perform the modification over the e820_table. The
similiraties were found in the checks for the different cases on how
each entry intersects with the given range (if it does at all). These
checks were very presice and error prone so it was not a good idea to
have them in both places.

Since I need to add a third one, similar to this two, in this and the
following patches I'll propose a refactor of these functions.

In this patch I introduce:

- A new type e820_entry_updater that will carry three callbacks, those
callbacks will decide WHEN to perform actions over the e820_table and
WHAY actions are going to be performed.

  Note that there is a void pointer "data". This pointer will carry
  useful information for the callbacks, like the type that we want to
  update in e820__range_update or if we want to check the type in
  e820__range_remove. Check it out in the next patches where I do the
  rework of __e820__range_update and e820__range_remove.

- A new function __e820__handle_range_update that has the flow of the
original two functions to refactor. Together with e820_entry_updater
will perform the desired update on the input table.

On version 6 of this patch some people pointed out that this solution
was over-complicated. Mike Rapoport suggested a another solution [1].

I took a look at that, and although it is indeed simpler it's more
confusing at the same time. I think is manageable to have a single
function to update or remove sections of the table (what Mike did),
but when I added the functionality to also update the crypto_capable
it became really hard to manage.

I think that the approach presented in this patch it's complex but is
easier to read, to extend and to test.

--------------------------------------------------

Changes from v7 to v8:

(Some) Callbacks of e820_entry_updater can now be NULL to avoid
defining empty functions

Remove kerneldocs in favor of plain comments just to explain what the
functions do.
