Subject: [PATCH] loop cleanup in fs/namespace.c
Hi Alexander,
Although the following non-idiomatic and quite cumbersome C language construct
label:
if (condition) {
// DO HARD WORK
goto label;
}
is equivalent to a simple while loop
while (condition) {
// DO HARD WORK
}
it was the "label-if-goto label" approach chosen to implement the loop in the mntput_no_expire() routine located in `fs/namespace.c'.
The patch enclosed to this message changes the goto-based loop to a while-based one, not only saving us two lines of code, but also making the implementation idiomatic and thus more readable.
Thanks,
Dmitri
