It is helpful from a program analysis point of view, and I think it helps someone trying to understand the code. That is, when I am trying to understand some unknown code, I may look at the cleanup code and try to figure out why each piece of it is executed. If some of it is statically known to be irrelevant, it is confusing. But I you think the other way around, and would rather have just one label that contains anything that might ever be useful, then I guess that is a reasonable point of view as well. julia > > return rc; > > } > > > > @@ -274,7 +273,7 @@ static int __init setup_hifcont_regs(struct device_node *np) > > if (!syscon_np) { > > pr_err("can't find phandle %s\n", name); > > rc = -EINVAL; > > - goto cleanup; > > + goto out; > > } > > > > hif_cont_block = of_iomap(syscon_np, 0); > > @@ -288,9 +287,8 @@ static int __init setup_hifcont_regs(struct device_node *np) > > hif_cont_reg = 0; > > > > cleanup: > > - if (syscon_np) > > - of_node_put(syscon_np); > > - > > + of_node_put(syscon_np); > > +out: > > Ditto. > > > return rc; > > } > > > > > > Brian > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
