I'm so sorry for the poor patch description. Is the following description OK?

In the previous iteration of the while loop, "ret" may have been assigned a value of 0, so the error return code -EINVAL may have been incorrectly set to 0. Also, investigate each case separately as Andy suggessted. If the help function match_int() fails, the error code is returned, which is different from the warning information printed before. If the parsing result token is incorrect, "-EINVAL" is returned and the original warning information is printed.

Please reply below instead of above. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style.

Regarding your question: not logging an error message if user input is rejected is unfriendly to the user. I think it's better to keep the behavior of reporting an error if a match* function fails instead of reporting in the patch description that the behavior has changed.


So the following modification is better?

                case SRP_OPT_CMD_SG_ENTRIES:
- if (match_int(args, &token) || token < 1 || token > 255) {
+                       ret = match_int(args, &token);
+                       if (ret) {
+ pr_warn("bad max cmd_sg_entries parameter '%s'\n",
+                                       p);
+                               goto out;
+                       }
+                       if (token < 1 || token > 255) {
pr_warn("bad max cmd_sg_entries parameter '%s'\n",
                                        p);
+                               ret = -EINVAL;
                                goto out;
                        }
                        target->cmd_sg_cnt = token;
                        break;


Or the following is better?

if (match_int(args, &token) || token < 1 || token > 255) { pr_warn("bad max cmd_sg_entries parameter '%s'\n",
                                        p);
+                               ret = -EINVAL;
                                goto out;
                        }
                        target->cmd_sg_cnt = token;
                        break;


Thanks,

Bart.
