Why not the somewhat more verbose but much more obvious: if (!dev) { pr_err("NULL pstore_device_info\n"); return -EINVAL; } if (!dev->zone.total_size) { pr_err("zero sized device\n"); return -EINVAL; } ... > - dev.total_size = i_size_read(I_BDEV(psblk_file->f_mapping->host)->bd_inode); > + dev->zone.total_size = i_size_read(I_BDEV(psblk_file->f_mapping->host)->bd_inode); This is starting to be unreadable long. A local variable for the inode might be nice, as that can also be used in the ISBLK check above. > + if (!pstore_device_info && best_effort && blkdev[0]) { > + struct pstore_device_info *best_effort_dev; > + > + best_effort_dev = kzalloc(sizeof(*best_effort_dev), GFP_KERNEL); > + if (!best_effort) { > + ret = -ENOMEM; > + goto unlock; > + } > + best_effort_dev->zone.read = psblk_generic_blk_read; > + best_effort_dev->zone.write = psblk_generic_blk_write; > + > + ret = __register_pstore_blk(best_effort_dev, > + early_boot_devpath(blkdev)); > + if (ret) > + kfree(best_effort_dev); > + else > + pr_info("attached %s (%zu) (no dedicated panic_write!)\n", > + blkdev, best_effort_dev->zone.total_size); Maybe split this into a little helper? > + /* Unregister and free the best_effort device. */ > + if (psblk_file) { > + struct pstore_device_info *dev = pstore_device_info; > + > + __unregister_pstore_device(dev); > + kfree(dev); > + fput(psblk_file); > + psblk_file = NULL; > } Same. > + /* If we've been asked to unload, unregister any registered device. */ > + if (pstore_device_info) > + __unregister_pstore_device(pstore_device_info); Won't this double unregister pstore_device_info? > struct pstore_device_info { > - unsigned long total_size; > unsigned int flags; > - pstore_zone_read_op read; > - pstore_zone_write_op write; > - pstore_zone_erase_op erase; > - pstore_zone_write_op panic_write; > + struct pstore_zone_info zone; > }; Given that flags is only used inside of __register_pstore_device why not kill this struct and just pass it explicitly?
