If you want to change the semantic of the result check

I am curious if another source code reduction (by the deletion of “ < 0”)
will become acceptable at similar places.


Source code reduction is not the main target.
If you can simplify code without changing the wanted semantic you made an improvement.


- this has to done consistently at all rtnl_configure_link() caller sites.

Are there any more functions to consider?

Of course there are more callers of rtnl_configure_link() ...

And not only in vxcan.c

Are you interested in related adjustments for a bigger code base?

No. Definitely not.

If you aim for the the deletion of “ < 0” for all rtnl_configure_link() users you would need to do this consistently.

If you think you would like to do that. Feel free to do it.
