Hi Greg,
Sorry about patch annoying... We will send patches in batch periodically after
"[PATCH] staging: erofs: use the wrapped PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO instead of open code".

Before that, We will review these patches in the linux-erofs mailing list first...


Hi Chao,
OK, I just send new patches as your suggestion, could you please review again?
(But I think it could not be re-merged by Greg's again... since no code changes,
but the following patches will be upstreamed as we disscussed this morning...)


And could you review '[PATCH] staging: erofs: use the wrapped PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO instead of open code'
I just sent in the morning?


Thanks,
Gao Xiang
