This isn't returning -ENOMEM like when zalloc() fails above. Also you're
mixing 'return -1' with 'return -ENOMEM', please be consistent. Please
find some -E errno for the !sysfs case, perhaps -ENODEV?


For opendir() error, can we just return -errno?

dir = opendir(path);
if (!dir)
    return -errno;

+
+        pmu->name = strdup(dent->d_name);
+        if (!pmu->name)
+            goto mem_err;
+
+        list_add_tail(&pmu->list, &pmu_alias_name_list);
+        continue;


Don't we have a 'struct pmu' constructor/destructor pair? I.e. instead
of doing all this in an open coded way as above, why not have:

void pmu__delete(struct pmu *pmu)
{
    if (!pmu)
        return;

    zfree(&pmu->name);
    zfree(&pmu->alias);
    free(pmu);
}

struct pmu *pmu__new(const char *name, const char *alias)
{
    struct pmu *pmu = zalloc(sizeof(*pmu));

    if (pmu) {
        pmu->name = strdup(name);
        if (!pmu->name)
            goto out_delete;

        pmu->alias = strdup(alias);
        if (!pmu->alias)
            goto out_delete;
    }

    return pmu;
out_err:
    pmu__delete(pmu);
    return NULL;
}

    And then just:

    pmu = pmu__new(dent->d_name, buf);
    if (!pmu)
        goto out_closedir;

    list_add_tail(&pmu->list, &pmu_alias_name_list);

And then you don't need the 'continue', as this is the end of the loop
block.

That 'ret' probably should start with -ENOMEM and you end the function
with:

    ret = 0;
out_closedir:
    closedir(dir);
    return ret;
}

Yes, using 'struct pmu' constructor/destructor is absolutely a good design.

I will follow this approach.


Strictly, it's not 'struct pmu' constructor/destructor. It's actually the 'struct perf_pmu_alias_name' constructor/destructor.

We are both confused by the variable name 'pmu'. :(

Thanks
Jin Yao



The pmu__delete() should be used in perf's shutdown when running it
using memory leak detectors, when not using it, its ok to just leave it
as is to speed up the shutdown.

- Arnaldo


Yes, agree. I will create a separate patch to implement the 'struct pmu' constructor/destructor.

Thanks
