I don't share your feeling.
bitmap_create() can return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) or ERR_PTR(-EINVAL).

In such cases 'if (!bitmap)' will not be helpful.

Maybe it should be turned into 'if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(bitmap))' to handle errors returned by bitmap_create.
Maybe just removing the call to 'bitmap_free(bitmap)' is enough.


I agreed we can remove it, if so, seems we are not consistent with the previous comment of bitmap_create.

/*
 * initialize the bitmap structure
 * if this returns an error, bitmap_destroy must be called to do clean up
 */

What about revert it and re-use v1 patch? see http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg51819.html.

Thanks,
