Why not stick to the same style as the function already had: error = jbd2_journal_freeze(journal); if (error) goto out; EXT4_CLEAR_INCOMPAT_FEATURE(sb, EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_RECOVER); error = ext4_commit_super(sb, 1); out: return error; Easier to read the patch, easier to add new potential error cases to this function later. -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
