Subject: [PATCH v2 10/22] coredump: make the dump helper return bool
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 01:09:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820-work-coredump-sparse-v2-10-ba32dd718c51@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820-work-coredump-sparse-v2-0-ba32dd718c51@kernel.org>

The various dump helpers return one and zero. Every caller just does a
boolean test. Convert them to return an actual bool.

While at it, drop the externs.

No functional changes.
