Remove deductively redundant NULL pointer checks

Commit Message

Shaobo He Feb. 27, 2019, 12:43 a.m. UTC

The fixes included in this commit essentially removes NULL pointer
checks on the return values of function `get_queue_ctx` as well as
`v4l2_m2m_get_vq` defined in file v4l2-mem2mem.c.

Function `get_queue_ctx` is very unlikely to return a NULL pointer
because its return value is an address composed of the base address
pointed by `m2m_ctx` and an offset of field `out_q_ctx` or `cap_q_ctx`.
Since the offset of either field is not 0, for the return value to be
NULL, pointer `m2m_ctx` must be a very large unsigned value such that
its addition to the offset overflows to NULL which may be undefined
according to this post:
https://wdtz.org/catching-pointer-overflow-bugs.html. Moreover, even if
`m2m_ctx` is NULL, the return value cannot be NULL, either. Therefore, I
think it is reasonable to conclude that the return value of function
`get_queue_ctx` cannot be NULL.

Given the return values of `get_queue_ctx` not being NULL, we can follow
a similar reasoning to conclude that the return value of
`v4l2_mem_get_vq` cannot be NULL since its return value is the same
address as the return value of `get_queue_ctx`. Therefore, this patch
also removes NULL pointer checks on the return values of
`v4l2_mem_get_vq`.

Hi Shaobo,

It seems this is v2 of [e-mail],
and it should be marked as such.

Do you think you can read Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst,
for your future patches?

Also, two comments...

It seems your patch also removes unused code, but this is not really explained in the
commit log.

Perhaps it is better to split all these changes on their own patch:
one patch to remove dead code, and then another patch to remove unneeded null checks.

And also, I think you should add some comments, either in v4l2_m2m_get_vq's declaration
or definition, explaining that the return value cannot be NULL.

I have to say: I'm not a fan of "improvement" patches in code paths that
are anything but hot... but knock yourself out!

Thanks,
Eze
