Re: [PATCH v19 32/40] completion, dept: introduce init_completion_dmap() API

[sashiko-bot]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Double evaluation of arguments in wait_for_completion macros leads to skipped array indices and memory corruption.
- [Medium] Unconditional struct growth of a widely used primitive for a debug feature.
- [Medium] Wait event macros skip calling sdt_might_sleep_end() on signal interruptions, leaking DEPT tracking state and stacks.

completion, dept: introduce init_completion_dmap() API

Currently, dept uses dept's map embedded in task_struct to track
dependencies related to wait_for_completion() and its family.  So it
doesn't need an explicit map basically.

However, for those who want to set the maps with customized class or
key, introduce a new API to use external maps.

[Severity: Medium]
Since struct completion is heavily embedded in many kernel data structures,
does unconditionally adding the dmap pointer increase the global memory
footprint even on production non-debug kernels? Should this new field be
guarded by an #ifdef?

[Severity: High]
Does evaluating the argument x multiple times in this macro lead to issues
if callers pass an expression with side effects?

For example, if a caller like mlx5_vdpa_exec_async_cmds() does:

	while (completed < issued)
		wait_for_completion(&cmds[completed++].cmd_done);

Would completed++ be executed twice per iteration, skipping array elements
and potentially causing out-of-bounds memory accesses?

[Severity: Medium]
Do wait event macros such as ___wait_event() in include/linux/wait.h skip
calling sdt_might_sleep_end() when interrupted by a signal?

In include/linux/wait.h:___wait_event():

		if (___wait_is_interruptible(state) && __int) { \
			__ret = __int; \
			goto __out; \
		}
        ...
	sdt_might_sleep_end(); \
__out:	__ret; \
})

If the wait is interrupted by a signal, it escapes via goto __out. Because
__out is placed after sdt_might_sleep_end(), it seems the cleanup is
skipped.

Does this permanently leak the tracking state and its underlying stack
objects?
