Whether the doc changes are kept or not I suppose then becomes "consensus based". I see value in describing what's done and I see value in being vague enough so that we could change to do something else in the future. The question thus remains, should the current truncate be considered a bug? Or a happy consequence/feature? >> Signed-off-by: John Ferlan <jferlan@xxxxxxxxxx> >> --- >> v1: >> http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-December/msg00085.html >> >> Changes since v1: >> * Use the preferred call format from review > >> * Cause error if refreshVol fails > > If my patch adjusting the return value gets pushed before this one: > https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-December/msg00467.html > > that change is just cosmetic. yep. > Otherwise, I don't think a patch adding refreshVol should be changing > the return value. > So again, your initial review says: More readable as: if (func() < 0) goto cleanup; Which is what I followed. Other than the value of ret being -errno on fdatasync - is the objection based solely on you'd like to see a separate patch to handle the ret differently for the wipeVol call, then a patch for refreshVol? It seemed more straightforward to do it all at once, but if you want 2 patches - that's not a problem. I just want to be clear first...
