Sorry, I missed that you also removed the only other place that called this function. zbd_setup_files() calls functions that are named e.g.: if (!zbd_verify_sizes()) return 1; if (!zbd_verify_bs()) return 1; Perhaps consider renaming this function to something like zbd_verify_and_set_vbd(), since this function is now only called from zbd_setup_files().
