Subject: [PATCH v3 16/24] binfmt_misc: give the parse_command() results names
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:33:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v3-16-a162f7cb58d6@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v3-0-a162f7cb58d6@kernel.org>

parse_command() maps "0" to 1, "1" to 2 and "-1" to 3 and the write
handlers switch on those bare numbers, leaving every reader to redo
the mapping in their head. Name the commands and drop the per-case
comments that only existed to translate the numbers back.

No functional change.
