Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:05:15 +0900 From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, akpm@...ux-foundation.org Cc: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH 03/12] notifier: change notifier_from_errno(0) to return NOTIFY_OK This changes notifier_from_errno(0) to be NOTIFY_OK instead of NOTIFY_STOP_MASK | NOTIFY_OK. Currently, the notifiers which return encapsulated errno value have to do something like this: err = do_something(); // returns -errno if (err) return notifier_from_errno(err); else return NOTIFY_OK; This change makes the above code simple: err = do_something(); // returns -errno return return notifier_from_errno(err); Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@...il.com> --- include/linux/notifier.h | 5 ++++- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/notifier.h b/include/linux/notifier.h index fee6c2f..9e4831d 100644 --- a/include/linux/notifier.h +++ b/include/linux/notifier.h @@ -164,7 +164,10 @@ extern int __srcu_notifier_call_chain(struct srcu_notifier_head *nh, /* Encapsulate (negative) errno value (in particular, NOTIFY_BAD <=> EPERM). */ static inline int notifier_from_errno(int err) { - return NOTIFY_STOP_MASK | (NOTIFY_OK - err); + if (err) + return NOTIFY_STOP_MASK | (NOTIFY_OK - err); + + return NOTIFY_OK; } /* Restore (negative) errno value from notify return value. */ -- 1.6.0.6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
