Hi,

Thanks for your comment. BTW, why linux-kernel mainling list is removed from cc?
Is it ext4 list prefer or something else?

Hi Yang ,

The patch looks correct, but in my opinion a nicer fix would be to set
e4b->bd_bitmap_page = page;
or
e4b->bd_buddy_page = page;
right after assigning a new value to the temp variable 'page'.
and keeping the cleanup code in the error path as it is.

It's a matter of taste and code readability.

I agree with you for common case, but this function is not so readable already.
Two many if conditions and indent. I would prefer just fix this problem as this patch.
Then rewrite the function as more small size functions for example the get page part.


Amir.
