Subject: [PATCH] afs: Fix logically dead code in afs_update_cell
Date: Mon, 27 May 2019 11:54:13 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190527165413.GA26714@embeddedor> (raw)

Fix logically dead code in switch statement.

Notice that *ret* is updated with -ENOMEM before the switch statement
at 395:

395                 switch (ret) {
396                 case -ENODATA:
397                 case -EDESTADDRREQ:
398                         vllist->status = DNS_LOOKUP_GOT_NOT_FOUND;
399                         break;
400                 case -EAGAIN:
401                 case -ECONNREFUSED:
402                         vllist->status = DNS_LOOKUP_GOT_TEMP_FAILURE;
403                         break;
404                 default:
405                         vllist->status = DNS_LOOKUP_GOT_LOCAL_FAILURE;
406                         break;
407                 }

hence, the code in the switch (except for the default case) makes
no sense and is logically dead.

Fix this by removing the *ret* assignment at 390:

390	ret = -ENOMEM;

which is apparently wrong.
