More information is good. Then I'd prefer a comment. Plus, you don't do (void) on every xenbus_switch_state, so I have to assume (1) you either forgot to check the return value or (2) you don't follow your own "on purpose" policy. If you really want to enforce to use the return value and explicitly not in some places, then please tag it __must_check. http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/21/282 might be something to read. -`J' --
