Subject: [RFC PATCH v1] tun: Cleanup error handling in tun_set_iff()
Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2009 12:12:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090803161242.12947.14620.stgit@flek.lan> (raw)

Convert some pointless gotos into returns and ensure tun_attach() errors are
handled correctly.

Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com>

I'm sending this as an RFC patch because I'm not entirely certain that the
changes to the tun_attach() error handling code are 100% correct, although I
strongly suspect that the current behavor of simply returning an error code
without any cleanup is broken.  Can anyone comment on this?
