It's still in mm-hotfixes-unstable.  We can still make changes if needed.

I understand what Markus is suggesting is adding another goto label to make
the flow cleaner.  Because this is a hotfix that aims to be also applied to
stable kernels, I think the change is better to be as simple as possible.
Adding another goto label could make it better, but I'm concerned if it will
make porting difficult.

IMHO, it is better to do that as a followup cleanup, rather than make change
into the hotfix.  Let me know if this change is somewhat critical and I'm
missing that.

Sure, if it makes it better, why not? :)


Thanks,
