Subject: Re: [PATCH] igmp: fix ip_mc_sf_allow race

For readability, instead of:

        ret = X;
        if (condition)
                goto out;

I prefer:

        if (condition) {
                ret = X;
                goto out;
        }

which makes it clear that ret is for the return and not
some random state change unrelated to the condition.

Otherwise, looks ok to me.
