Doing One Err style error handling is often a mistake but it's ok here.
Why is it okay here? I don't understand why this function would be any different than the other places where the code used a goto.
If we *have* to change it I would prefer that we not add a goto and instead add an additional boolean local variable to control serverdown completion. That's less complex and makes the intent clear.
like this: visornic_serverdown(struct visornic_devdata *devdata, visorbus_state_complete_func complete_func) { unsigned long flags; int retval = 0; bool complete_serverdown = false; spin_lock_irqsave(&devdata->priv_lock, flags); if (!devdata->server_down && !devdata->server_change_state) { if (devdata->going_away) { dev_dbg(&devdata->dev->device, "%s aborting because device removal pending\n", __func__); retval = -ENODEV; } else { devdata->server_change_state = true; devdata->server_down_complete_func = complete_func; complete_serverdown = true; } } else if (devdata->server_change_state) { dev_dbg(&devdata->dev->device, "%s changing state\n", __func__); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&devdata->priv_lock, flags); retval = -EINVAL; } spin_unlock_irqrestore(&devdata->priv_lock, flags); if (complete_serverdown) visornic_serverdown_complete(devdata); return retval; } -- Ben _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
