Ok, I was able to find a backup of the patch I applied, as my scripts
safe a copy before applying.
One of the scripts I use has a logic to get just the header of a message,
excluding the diff:
$ githead.pl 0019-0040-cx231xx-drop-unnecessary-list_empty.patch

list_for_each_entry is able to handle an empty list.
The only effect of avoiding the loop is not initializing the
index variable.
Drop list_empty tests in cases where these variables are not
used.
Note that list_for_each_entry is defined in terms of list_first_entry,
which indicates that it should not be used on an empty list. But in
list_for_each_entry, the element obtained by list_first_entry is not
really accessed, only the address of its list_head field is compared
to the address of the list head, so the list_first_entry is safe.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
<smpl>
@@
expression x,e;
iterator name list_for_each_entry;
statement S;
identifier i;
@@
-if (!(list_empty(x))) {
list_for_each_entry(i,x,...) S
Among other things, such script ignores everything after /^---\n/
regex.
Yet, the smpl patch hit some bug on it, making it lose this part:
- }
... when != i
? i = e
</smpl>
Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xxxxxxxxx>
Because it contains this regex: /^-\s/
Making it think that this would have some mangled patch on it.
That part came from the old days where we used CVS (and later
mercurial) and some diffs were not strictly following the
pattern generated by git those days.
I changed my script to avoid this issue to happen again.
Thanks,
Mauro
