checkpatch: check for missing sentinels in ID arrays
All of the ID tables based on <linux/mod_devicetable.h> (of_device_id,
pci_device_id, ...) require their arrays to end in an empty sentinel
value. That's usually spelled with an empty initializer entry (e.g.,
"{}"), but also sometimes with explicit 0 entries, field initializers
(e.g., '.id = ""'), or even a macro entry (like PCMCIA_DEVICE_NULL).
Without a sentinel, device-matching code may read out of bounds.
I've found a number of such bugs in driver reviews, and we even
occasionally commit one to the tree. See commit 5751eee5c6 ("i2c:
nomadik: Add missing sentinel to match table") for example.
Teach checkpatch to find these ID tables, and complain if it looks like
there wasn't a sentinel value.
Test output:
$ git format-patch -1 a0d15cc47f --stdout | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
ERROR: missing sentinel in ID array
#57: FILE: drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-nomadik.c:1073:
+static const struct of_device_id nmk_i2c_eyeq_match_table[] = {
{
.compatible = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
.data = (void *)(NMK_I2C_EYEQ_FLAG_32B_BUS | NMK_I2C_EYEQ_FLAG_IS_EYEQ5),
},
};
total: 1 errors, 0 warnings, 66 lines checked
NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
"[PATCH] i2c: nomadik: switch from of_device_is_compatible() to" has style problems, please review.
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
When run across the entire tree (scripts/checkpatch.pl -q --types
MISSING_SENTINEL -f ...), false positives exist:
* where macros are used that hide the table from analysis
(e.g., drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_drv.c / radeon_PCI_IDS).
There are fewer than 5 of these.
* where such tables are processed correctly via ARRAY_SIZE() (fewer than
5 instances). This is by far not the typical usage of *_device_id
arrays.
* some odd parsing artifacts, where ctx_statement_block() seems to quit
in the middle of a block due to #if/#else/#endif.
Also, not every "struct *_device_id" is in fact a sentinel-requiring
structure, but even with such types, false positives are very rare.
