Subject: [PATCH] avoid unnecessary assignment in lookup_bdev()
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 02:33:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49455170.6080307@suse.de> (raw)
In normal cases, lookup_bdev() should return successfully, therefore it's not a good idea to always
assign error values before checking truth/false conditions. This patch modifies code to only assign
error value in necessary false conditions.
If I missed something, please correct me.
