return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(inode)); I tend to prefer the latter.
It seems like a pretty noisy way to get a (void *) cast :/. Maybe a function that has the cast but makes sure it's only used for IS_ERR() pointers?
/* haha, continuing the fine tradition of terrible names in this api.. */
static inline void *PTR_PTR(void *err_ptr) { BUG_ON(!IS_ERR(err_ptr) || !err_ptr); return err_ptr; } Meh. - z - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
