This patch does a lot of stuff all at once and it is hard to review.

You can rename a bunch of functions at the same time, that's fine. Personally, you can even move the functions between files, that's also fine with me and doesn't complicate my review. Ok in this next section we move functions around and rename them but also introduce some bad changes in the new function. > +static int > +lnet_sock_ioctl(int cmd, unsigned long arg) > +{ > + struct file *sock_filp; > + struct socket *sock; > + int fd = -1; > + int rc; > + > + rc = sock_create(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0, &sock); > + if (rc != 0) { > + CERROR("Can't create socket: %d\n", rc); > + return rc; > + } > + > + sock_filp = sock_alloc_file(sock, 0, NULL); > + if (!sock_filp) { sock_alloc_file() never returns NULL, only valid pointers on success or ERR_PTRs on failue. > + rc = -ENOMEM; > + sock_release(sock); > + goto out; > + } > + > + rc = kernel_sock_unlocked_ioctl(sock_filp, cmd, arg); This is an unrelated cleanup.

Those should be sent as one patch per bugfix with a proper changelog. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
