qd->name == qd->end is not allowed as well?
So will it be better to return directly here?
if (unlikely(qd->name >= qd->end)) { DBG_BUGON(1); return 1; }
Please don't add likely/unlikely() annotations unless you have benchmarked it and it makes a difference.
I tend not to add this branch above since the current logic can handle qd->name >= qd->end (it only happens in corrupted images) and it will return 1;
Let's just leave DBG_BUGON(qd->name > qd->end); here for debugging use (to detect corrupted image in some degree earlier).
Thanks, Gao Xiang
