Subject: [patch] bridge: simplify br_getlink() a bit
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 12:22:35 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150121092235.GA19206@mwanda> (raw)

Static checkers complain that we should maybe set "ret" before we do the
"goto out;".  They interpret the NULL return from br_port_get_rtnl() as
a failure and forgetting to set the error code is a common bug in this
situation.

The code is confusing but it's actually correct.  We are returning zero
deliberately.  Let's re-write it a bit to be more clear.
