Without the descriptive prefixes code would be extremely hard to read without having a reference document open at all times. They are used in 6 different drivers, and no one is proficient enough to know them all off hand, hence the explanatory prefixes. > Perhaps it'd be nicer to read if > _S was _SHIFT > _M was _MASK > _V was whatever it's supposed to represent (_SET?) > and > _G was _GET > There prefixes are auto-generated based on hardware logic, as the actual prefixes generated are not acceptable in the kernel due namespace collison worries, we are trying to keep it in an format that is _both_ acceptable in the kernel and can be used to convert in-house patches to upstream kernel patches. Changing the length of the macro names would significantly increase manual intervention required to ensure that the 80 char limit is not violated. Even simply changing existing code would require quite a lot of man-hours manually fixing all the char length issues that would be better spend making code more maintainable first. The current focus of the effort is to get all these macros into a uniform format. Due to legacy reasons, the current macros are represented in 3 varying formats (one of which actually is _SHIFT, _MASK etc), making code very hard to maintain, doubly so when transplanting changesets. As a final phase of this, we will add an explanation about the suffixes used so that the headers are easier to read. > > +#define FW_FILTER_WR_TID_S 12 > > +#define FW_FILTER_WR_TID_M 0xf > > +#define FW_FILTER_WR_TID_V(x) ((x) << FW_FILTER_WR_TID_S) > > +#define FW_FILTER_WR_TID_G(x) \ > > + (((x) >> FW_FILTER_WR_TID_S) & FW_FILTER_WR_TID_M) > > Why aren't the _V defines masked then shifted? > > #define FW_FILTER_WR__V(x) \ > (((x) & FW_FILTER__M) << FW_FILTER__S) > > Good point, until now we just have been careful using _V macros. But this too is best done once we actually have all the macros used to set values in a uniform format that can be patched in one go. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Is there any real value in the FW_FILTER_WR_ prefix? Does it need to be so long? Perhaps it'd be nicer to read if _S was _SHIFT _M was _MASK _V was whatever it's supposed to represent (_SET?) and _G was _GET > +#define FW_FILTER_WR_TID_S 12 > +#define FW_FILTER_WR_TID_M 0xf > +#define FW_FILTER_WR_TID_V(x) ((x) << FW_FILTER_WR_TID_S) > +#define FW_FILTER_WR_TID_G(x) \ > + (((x) >> FW_FILTER_WR_TID_S) & FW_FILTER_WR_TID_M) Why aren't the _V defines masked then shifted? #define FW_FILTER_WR__V(x) \ (((x) & FW_FILTER__M) << FW_FILTER__S) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
