Is there some reason this whole thing isn't just

seq_write(m, drm->vbios.data, drm->vbios.length)

Some characters should be put into a sequence.

* Thus print all data by the corresponding function ?seq_write? at once.

* Return also the value from this function call.

* Omit a local variable which became redundant with this refactoring.


This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Hi,

I don't know if my answer is relevant or not here but:
	for () seq_putc();	==> will fill 'm' with everything that fits in
and
	seq_write()		==> is all or nothing. So if 'm' is too small, then 
nothing will be appended.

I've not looked at the calling tree, but I would expect 'm' to be
able
to have PAGE_SIZE chars, so most probably 4096.

And having gpu + "vbios.rom", I would expect it to be bigger than
4096.

If I'm correct, then changing for seq_write() would just show... nothing.


I don't know if it can happen., but testing should be easy enough to 
figure it out.

just my 2c.

The vbios can definitely be much much larger than 4k. But it does
currently work as-is, i.e. you don't just get the first 4k, you get
everything. So I think there's some internal resizing/extension/etc
going on.

But I totally agree -- testing required here. Not sure if the author
has done that.

Cheers,
