It's not a matter of "looks a bit more efficient". it's taste, style, and repetition for various functions. Some prefer that source code be "templatized" regardless of the number of exit points that any particular use of a specific function type. Some of your patches are converting these templatized functions to a different form for no added value. These patches make the local source code inconsistent and generally goes against the authors preferred style. -- 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
