Subject: [PATCH v7 2/2] scsi: sd: make sd_revalidate_disk() return void
Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2025 02:23:29 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250816205329.404116-3-abinashsinghlalotra@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250816205329.404116-1-abinashsinghlalotra@gmail.com>
The sd_revalidate_disk() function currently returns 0 for
both success and memory allocation failure.Since none of its
callers use the return value, this return code is both unnecessary
and potentially misleading.
Change the return type of sd_revalidate_disk() from int to void
and remove all return value handling. This makes the function
semantics clearer and avoids confusion about unused return codes.
