Commit Message

Nicola Vetrini July 12, 2023, 3:54 p.m. UTC
In the file 'xen/common/xmalloc_tlsf.c' is not clear how
the commented-out code should interact with the previous statement.
To resolve the MISRA violation generated by the nested comment
a #if .. #endif block with an explanatory comment substitutes
the earlier construct.

In the file 'xen/include/xen/atomic.h' the nested comment has been removed,
since the code sample is already explained by the preceding comment.

In the message you linked above, you suggested to use /* FL will be always >0! */, why has it changed?
Was some comment I missed? The xen codestyle mandates the use of /* */, anyway I agree that here you
are just moving code...
So maybe the maintainer can tell what is the best thing to do here.

Anyway apart from that, the patch looks ok to me.

You didn't miss any further comment: my suggestion was related to the 
explanatory comment, not the nested comment itself. If a better wording 
can be found for the former, no problem. As for the codestyle point: it 
does not change anything doing
"// FL will be always >0!" -> "/* FL will be always >0!  */
w.r.t. Rule 3.1 (both would have been nested comments).

Yes, I agree it does not change anything, now that I read better the message, it is from Jan suggesting this:

#if 1
    *fl -= FLI_OFFSET;
#else
    if ((*fl -= FLI_OFFSET) < 0) /* FL will be always >0! */
        *fl = *sl = 0;
#endif

So using /* FL will be always >0! */ instead of copying // FL will be always >0!

Anyway, I think it can be addressed on commit, whatever form the maintainer prefers.
