(a) your patch was white space corrupted (b) one of the err = 0 which you removed was actually necessary. I've reworked the error handling in ext4_block_zero_page_range() so it's a bit more obvious. Also your change showed up a potential issue with ext4_write_end(), in that ext4_write_inline_data_end() returns an int, which can be negative in the case of an error, and it's assigning this to copied, which is an unsigned int. - Ted >From 6e4837a3e8bc04a1c49f8668c32ce3239968a8ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jon ernst <jonernst07@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:42:05 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: delete unnecessary C statements Comparing unsigned variable with 0 always returns false. err = 0 is duplicated and unnecessary.
