SubjectRe: [PATCHv3 1/8] powerpc/vdso: unify return paths in setup_additional_pages
Date
Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for the patches.

I'm not a fan of these "Impact" lines, especially when they're not
correct, ie. this is not a cleanup, a cleanup doesn't change logic.

'rc' means "Return Code", it's fairly common. I see at least ~8500
"int rc" declarations in the kernel.

Please don't rename variables and change logic in one patch.

Please don't initialise return codes in the declaration, it prevents the
compiler from warning you if you forget to initialise it in a
particular path.

AFAICS you never even use the default value either.

If you strip out the variable renames then I think that change would be
OK.

cheers
