Subject: link_path_walk: final preparations to killing recursion
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bdf6cbf17923c08dafca70f0231817de1f9d1f30;p=linux-beck.git

link_path_walk: final preparations to killing recursion

reduce the number of returns in there - turn all places
where it returns zero into goto OK and places where it
returns non-zero into goto Err.  The only non-trivial
detail is that all breaks in the loop are guaranteed
to be with non-zero err.
