Subject: [PATCH] net/sunrpc: clean up error checking in proc_do_xprt()
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2020 17:17:58 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201027141758.GA3488087@mwanda> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <031F93AC-744F-4E02-9948-1C1F5939714B@gmail.com>

There are three changes but none of them should affect run time:

1)  You can't write to this file because the permissions are 0444.  But
    it sort of looked like you could do a write and it would result in
    a read.  Then it looked like proc_sys_call_handler() just ignored
    it.  Which is confusing.  It's more clear if the "write" just
    returns zero.
2)  The "lenp" pointer is never NULL so that check can be removed.
3)  In the original code, the "if (*lenp < 0)" check didn't work because
    "*lenp" is unsigned.  Fortunately, the memory_read_from_buffer()
    call will never fail in this context so it doesn't affect runtime.
