Subject: [merged mm-nonmm-stable] kho-convert-__kho_abort-to-return-void.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2025 14:26:11 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251127222612.2885AC4CEFB@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: kho: convert __kho_abort() to return void
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kho-convert-__kho_abort-to-return-void.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: kho: convert __kho_abort() to return void
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 13:59:51 -0500
The internal helper __kho_abort() always returns 0 and has no failure
paths. Its return value is ignored by __kho_finalize and checked
needlessly by kho_abort.
Change the return type to void to reflect that this function cannot fail,
and simplify kho_abort by removing dead error handling code.
