Hi James,
Sorry I missed v1. Busy few weeks.
I think one resource leak plus a few suggested changes that
I'm not that bothered about.

This calls acpi_get_table() so you need to put it again or every call
to this leaks a reference count. I messed around with DEFINE_FREE() for this
but it doesn't fit that well as the underlying call doesn't return the table.
This one does though so you could do a pptt specific one.
Or just acpi_put_table(table_hdr); at exit path from this function.

Hmm. Not related to this patch but I have no idea why acpi_get_pptt()
doesn't return a struct acpi_table_pptt as if it did this would be a simple
+ 1 and not require those who only sometimes deal with ACPI code to go
check what that macro actually does!

Maybe sizeof (*cpu_node) is more helpful to reader.
Also shorter so you could do
while ((unsigned long)entry + sizeof(*cpu_node) <= table_end)

For me, assigning this before checking the type is inelegant.
but the nesting does get deep without it so I guess this is ok maybe, though
I wonder if better reorganized to combine a different bunch of conditions.
I think this is functionally identival.
if (entry->type == ACPI_PTT_TYPE_PROCESSOR) {
struct acpi_pptt_processor *cpu_node =
(struct acpi_pptt_processor *)entry;
if ((cpu_node->flags & ACPI_PPTT_ACPI_PROCESSOR_ID_VALID) &&
(!acpi_pptt_leaf_node(table_hdr, cpu_node) &&
(cpu_node->acpi_processor_id == acpi_cpu_id)) {
acpi_pptt_get_child_cpus(table_hdr, cpu_node, cpus);
break;
}
}
entry = ACPI_ADD_PTR(struct acpi_subtable_header, entry,
entry->length);
More generally I wonder if it is worth adding a for_each_acpi_pptt_entry() macro.
There is some precedence in drivers acpi such as for_each_nhlt_endpoint()
That's probably material for another day though unless you think it brings
enough benefits to do it here.
