Subject: [PATCH 5/5] exec: cleanup the error handling in search_binary_handler()
Date: Fri, 2 Aug 2013 21:27:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130802192744.GA9582@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130802192713.GA9543@redhat.com>

The error hanling and ret-from-loop look confusing and inconsistent.

- "retval >= 0" simply returns

- "!bprm->file" returns too but with read_unlock() because
   binfmt_lock was already re-acquired

- "retval != -ENOEXEC || bprm->mm == NULL" does "break" and
  relies on the same check after the main loop

Consolidate these checks into a single if/return statement.

need_retry still checks "retval == -ENOEXEC", but this and -ENOENT
before the main loop are not needed. This is only for pathological
and impossible list_empty(&formats) case.

It is not clear why do we check "bprm->mm == NULL", probably this
should be removed.
