[**\[Experimental Bot, please feedback here\]**](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aapache%2Fnuttx+13552&type=issues) No, this PR description does not adequately meet the NuttX requirements. While it provides a basic summary of the change, it lacks crucial details and context. Here's a breakdown of what's missing and how it can be improved: **Summary:** * **Insufficient Detail:** "Modify the kernel to use only the long type atomic interfaces" is vague. *Which* atomic interfaces are being modified? Are *all* atomic operations now using `long`, or just a specific subset? What was the previous behavior? Be specific. For example: "Replace the use of `atomic_add()` with size-specific variants (e.g., `atomic_add_long()`) throughout the kernel to avoid ambiguity and improve type safety." * **Missing Rationale:** *Why* is this change necessary? What problem does it solve? Does it improve performance, portability, or code clarity? For example: "Using `sizeof` or `typeof` to determine atomic operation types can lead to subtle errors when porting to different architectures or when dealing with complex data structures. This change enforces the use of explicit type specifiers, improving code maintainability and preventing potential portability issues." **Impact:** * **Too Brief:** "atomic function" is not helpful. Address *all* impact categories explicitly, even if the answer is "NO." Provide explanations where needed. * **User Impact:** Likely NO. But explain why. "No direct user impact is expected. This change is internal to the kernel and should not affect application behavior." * **Build Impact:** Possibly YES. If the change affects header files or build configurations, describe the impact. If NO, state so explicitly. * **Hardware Impact:** Possibly YES if this affects architecture-specific code. Specify which architectures are affected and how. If NO, explain why. * **Documentation Impact:** Possibly YES if any documentation needs updating to reflect the API changes. * **Security Impact:** Possibly YES or NO. Justify your answer. Does this change address any potential vulnerabilities or introduce new ones? * **Compatibility Impact:** Possibly YES or NO. Does this break any existing code or drivers? Does it affect compatibility with different NuttX versions? **Testing:** * **Insufficient Detail:** Provide more context. What does "sim:citest pass" mean? Which tests were run? "sabre-6qaud:smp pass" is also insufficient. Which SMP tests specifically? * **Missing Before/After Logs:** Include actual log snippets demonstrating the change in behavior or performance, if applicable. Even if there's no visible functional change in the logs, provide some evidence that the code is functioning as expected (e.g., kernel boot log snippets). * **Expand on Test Setup:** What specific configuration options were used for the build? What commands were used to run the tests? This information allows others to reproduce your results. Mention the NuttX version you tested against. **Example of an improved summary:** This PR refactors the kernel's atomic operations to exclusively use long type interfaces (e.g., `atomic_add_long()`). Previously, the code relied on `sizeof` and `typeof` to determine the appropriate atomic operation type, which could lead to portability issues and subtle errors when dealing with complex data structures. This change enforces the use of explicit type specifiers, improving code clarity, maintainability, and portability across different architectures. This change addresses issue #[insert issue number]. By providing more detail and context in each section, you make it easier for reviewers to understand the purpose, impact, and correctness of your changes, which significantly increases the chances of your PR being accepted. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
