Subject: Claude review: accel/amdxdna: Reduce log noise during process termination
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 16:21:02 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <review-patch2-20260210164521.1094274-3-mario.limonciello@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260210164521.1094274-3-mario.limonciello@amd.com>
Patch Review
**Summary:** Reasonable intent but implementation could be improved.
**Issues:**
1. **Inconsistent error code checking pattern:**
In `aie2_ctx.c`:
```c
- if (ret)
+ if (ret && ret != -ENODEV)
XDNA_ERR(xdna, "Destroy temporal only context failed, ret %d", ret);
```
This silently swallows `-ENODEV` errors even though the function description says they should be downgraded to debug level. There's no debug message added here unlike in the other locations.
2. **Logic error in dma_resv_wait_timeout handling:**
```c
ret = dma_resv_wait_timeout(gobj->resv, DMA_RESV_USAGE_BOOKKEEP,
true, MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT);
- if (!ret || ret == -ERESTARTSYS)
+ if (!ret)
XDNA_ERR(xdna, "Failed to wait for bo, ret %ld", ret);
+ else if (ret == -ERESTARTSYS)
+ XDNA_DBG(xdna, "Wait for bo interrupted by signal");
```
The `dma_resv_wait_timeout()` function returns:
- `> 0`: Success (remaining timeout in jiffies)
- `0`: Timeout
- `< 0`: Error code
The original code treated both timeout (`!ret`) and signal interruption (`-ERESTARTSYS`) as errors. The new code only prints an error for timeout but adds debug for signals. However, there's a subtle issue: what if there are other error codes besides `-ERESTARTSYS`? They would be silently ignored. A better pattern would be:
```c
if (ret > 0) {
// Success - do nothing
} else if (ret == 0) {
XDNA_ERR(xdna, "Timeout waiting for bo");
} else if (ret == -ERESTARTSYS) {
XDNA_DBG(xdna, "Wait for bo interrupted by signal");
} else {
XDNA_ERR(xdna, "Failed to wait for bo, ret %ld", ret);
}
```
3. **Same Fixes tag issue:**
```
Fixes: 97f27573837e ("accel/amdxdna: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in context cleanup")
```
This tag references a commit that doesn't seem to be the root cause of log noise - it's the NULL pointer fix. The Fixes tag should reference the commit that introduced the noisy logging, not the previous patch in this series.
4. **Missing context in commit message:**
The commit message doesn't explain *how* the submitter determined these are "expected" conditions. For example:
- How often does `-ERESTARTSYS` occur during normal termination?
- Are there cases where `-ERESTARTSYS` indicates a real problem?
- Same questions for `-ENODEV`
**Positive aspects:**
- The intent is correct - reducing log noise for expected conditions
- The debug messages are informative
- Reviewed-by tag from Lizhi Hou shows maintainer approval (for this patch specifically)
**Recommendation:**
This patch should be reworked to:
1. Add consistent debug logging for all downgraded errors
2. Fix the error handling logic in `aie2_hmm_invalidate()`
3. Correct the Fixes tag
4. Provide more context about when these conditions occur
