///Find conditions where if and else branch are functionally | ||
// identical. | ||
// | ||
// There can be false positives in cases where the positional | ||
// information is used (as with lockdep) or where the identity | ||
// is a placeholder for not yet handled cases. | ||
// Unfortunately there also seems to be a tendency to use | ||
// the last if else/else as a "default behavior" - which some | ||
// might consider a legitimate coding pattern. From discussion | ||
// on kernelnewbies though it seems that this is not really an | ||
// accepted pattern and if at all it would need to be commented | ||
// | ||
// In the Linux kernel it does not seem to actually report | ||
// false positives except for those that were documented as | ||
// being intentional. | ||
// the two known cases are: | ||
// arch/sh/kernel/traps_64.c:read_opcode() | ||
// } else if ((pc & 1) == 0) { | ||
// /* SHcompact */ | ||
// /* TODO : provide handling for this. We don't really support | ||
// user-mode SHcompact yet, and for a kernel fault, this would | ||
// have to come from a module built for SHcompact. */ | ||
// return -EFAULT; | ||
// } else { | ||
// /* misaligned */ | ||
// return -EFAULT; | ||
// } | ||
// fs/kernfs/file.c:kernfs_fop_open() | ||
// * Both paths of the branch look the same. They're supposed to | ||
// * look that way and give @of->mutex different static lockdep keys. | ||
// */ | ||
// if (has_mmap) | ||
// mutex_init(&of->mutex); | ||
// else | ||
// mutex_init(&of->mutex); | ||
// | ||
// All other cases look like bugs or at least lack of documentation | ||
// | ||
