I think this style ugly because it's non kernel standard.

int func(args)
{
	do {
		[ linear code ...]
		if (err) {
			errorcode = ;
			break;
		}
		[ more linear code ...]
	} while (0);

	if (errorcode) {
		handle()...
		return some_err;
	}

	return 0;
}

It's a bit too much like a try/throw/catch block.

Are patches accepted to convert it to the more
commonly used kernel style using gotos?
