From: Tianjia Zhang <tianjia.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mprotect.c: optimize error detection in do_mprotect_pkey() Obviously, the error variable detection of the if statement is for the mprotect callback function, so it is also put into the scope of calling callbck. This is a cleanup which makes this site consistent with the rest of this function's error handling.
