One small change would make the first case easier to read in my mind. We are already fairly deeply indented here and having labels within switch blocks can be difficult to read. As such I would factor out this block as a separate read function. That will make it a little more readable. In the second case, the jump backwards just makes the code harder to read than it currently is. There is no firm rule about error handling in one place. If it leads to more complex flow as here, don't do it.

I'd like to factor out the set mode as well, but then we risk eating the first error - so I suppose this is the best we can do. > - mutex_unlock(&data->lock); > - return ret; > + goto unlock; > } > *val = sign_extend32(ret, 7); > ret = stk8312_set_mode(data, > data->mode & (~STK8312_MODE_ACTIVE)); > +unlock: > mutex_unlock(&data->lock); > - if (ret < 0) > - return ret; > - return IIO_VAL_INT; > + if (!ret) > + ret = IIO_VAL_INT; > + > + return ret; > case IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE: > *val = stk8312_scale_table[data->range - 1][0]; > *val2 = stk8312_scale_table[data->range - 1][1]; > @@ -444,17 +444,15 @@ static irqreturn_t stk8312_trigger_handler(int irq, void *p) > data->buffer); > if (ret < STK8312_ALL_CHANNEL_SIZE) { > dev_err(&data->client->dev, "register read failed\n"); > - mutex_unlock(&data->lock); > - goto err; > + goto unlock_after_failure; > } > } else { > for_each_set_bit(bit, indio_dev->active_scan_mask, > indio_dev->masklength) { > ret = stk8312_read_accel(data, bit); > - if (ret < 0) { > - mutex_unlock(&data->lock); > - goto err; > - } > + if (ret < 0) > + goto unlock_after_failure; > + > data->buffer[i++] = ret; > } > } > @@ -462,10 +460,13 @@ static irqreturn_t stk8312_trigger_handler(int irq, void *p) > > iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(indio_dev, data->buffer, > pf->timestamp); > -err: > +notify_trigger: > iio_trigger_notify_done(indio_dev->trig); > - > return IRQ_HANDLED; > + > +unlock_after_failure: > + mutex_unlock(&data->lock); No. This construction fails the easy to read case. The original code was cleaner. The reason to bring mutex_unlocks into one place is to simplify the code.
