Re: [PATCH] dm-log: fix return value in create_log_context function

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We might also want to change the message in that case then too, right? Maybe "Unable to create disk io client"?

Hi all,

What do you think about this patch?

DMWARN("couldn't allocate disk io client");

This message is not necessarily related to ENOMEM and returning
variable "r" is better than doing -ENOMEM in terms of function
encapsulation.

I appreciate any comments.

Taka


Hi,

This is very trivial fix, but let me post it to improve code
readability. In the current implementation, caller function
does not use the return value and no action is changed.

When dm_io_client_create function fails in create_log_context
function, return value is set to variable r but it is not used.
r should be returned.
