You _could_ write that as:
if (x86_pmu.lbr_nr) {
if (!check_msr(x86_pmu.lbr_tos))
x86_pmu.lbr_nr = 0;
for (i = 0; i < x86_pmu.lbr_nr; i++) {
if (!(check_msr(x86_pmu.lbr_from + i) &&
check_msr(x86_pmu.lbr_to + i)))
x86_pmu.lbr_nr = 0;
}
}
There is no point in checking any more MSRs after the first fail after
all.
