From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Al Viro Subject: [PATCH 10/24] link_path_walk: handle get_link() returning ERR_PTR() immediately Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 19:12:54 +0100 Message-ID: <1429553588-24764-10-git-send-email-viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> References: <20150420181222.GK889@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Cc: Neil Brown , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org To: Linus Torvalds Return-path: In-Reply-To: <20150420181222.GK889@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org From: Al Viro If we get ERR_PTR() from get_link(), we are guaranteed to get err != 0 when we break out of do-while, so we are going to hit if (err) return err; shortly after it. Pull that into the if (IS_ERR(s)) body.
