Subjectqustion about eeh_add_virt_device
Hello,

At the suggestion of Christoph Hellwig, I am working on inlining the
functions stored in the err_handler field of a pci_driver structure into
the pci_driver structure itself. A number of functions in the file
arch/powerpc/kernel/eeh_driver.c have code like:

if (!driver->err_handler ||
!driver->err_handler->error_detected) {
eeh_pcid_put(dev);
return NULL;
}

This I would just convert to:

if (!driver->error_detected) {
eeh_pcid_put(dev);
return NULL;
}

But I am not sure what is best to do about eeh_add_virt_device, which
contains:

if (driver->err_handler)
return NULL;

Should I try to find a subfield of the err_handler that is guaranteed to
be there if anything is there? Or could the test just be dropped, leaving
a direct return NULL?

thanks,
julia
