Clang generates a warning when it sees a logical not followed by a conditional operator like ==, >, or < because it thinks that the logical not should be applied to the whole statement: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_nx.c:3702:7: warning: logical not is only applied to the left hand side of this comparison [-Wlogical-not-parentheses] if (!qla2x00_eh_wait_for_pending_commands(vha, 0, 0, ^ drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_nx.c:3702:7: note: add parentheses after the '!' to evaluate the comparison first if (!qla2x00_eh_wait_for_pending_commands(vha, 0, 0, ^ ( drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_nx.c:3702:7: note: add parentheses around left hand side expression to silence this warning if (!qla2x00_eh_wait_for_pending_commands(vha, 0, 0, ^ ( 1 warning generated. It assumes the author might have made a mistake in their logic: if (!a == b) -> if (!(a == b)) Sometimes that is the case; other times, it's just a super convoluted way of saying 'if (a)' when b = 0: if (!1 == 0) -> if (0 == 0) -> if (true) Alternatively: if (!1 == 0) -> if (!!1) -> if (1) Simplify this comparison so that Clang doesn't complain. Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/80 Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@xxxxxxxxx> --- This is commit 0bfe7d3cae58 ("scsi: qla2xxx: Simplify conditional check") upstream but commit 3695310e37b4 ("scsi: qla2xxx: Update flash read/write routine") in the 5.2/scsi-queue branch silently reverted it. I don't care if it is squashed or not, I just want the warning to stay fixed.
