Subject: [PATCH 2/3] exec: kill "int depth" in search_binary_handler()
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 21:05:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130801190514.GA3216@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130801190455.GA3194@redhat.com>

Nobody except search_binary_handler() should touch ->recursion_depth,
"int depth" buys nothing but complicates the code, kill it.

Probably we should also kill "fn" and the !NULL check, ->load_binary
should be always defined. And it can not go away after read_unlock()
or this code is buggy anyway.
