Subject: [PATCH 3/5] do_wait: simplify retval/tsk_result/notask_error mess
Date: Thu, 7 May 2009 08:46:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090507064641.GA15864@redhat.com> (raw)

Now that we don't pass &retval down to other helpers we can simplify
the code more.

- kill tsk_result, just use retval

- add the "notask" label right after the main loop, and
  s/got end/goto notask/ after the fastpath pid check.

  This way we don't need to initialize retval before this
  check and the code becomes a bit more clean, if this pid
  has no attached tasks we should just skip the list search.
