Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: make ocfs2_calc_xattr_init() return void
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2026 10:37:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904023751.3703334-1-joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

ocfs2_calc_xattr_init() used to read the default ACL off the parent
inode itself, so it could return an error from ocfs2_xattr_get_nolock().
Commit bd7c05fb4a47 ("ocfs2: fix circular locking dependency in
ocfs2_init_acl()") moved that lookup before the transaction starts and
deleted the error path, but left the now vestigial 'int ret = 0'
declaration and both 'return ret' statements behind, along with an
unreachable error branch in ocfs2_mknod().

Drop the leftover variable and convert the return type to void, so the
callee states that it always succeeds and the caller no longer carries
a check that can never trigger.

No functional change.

Fixes: bd7c05fb4a47 ("ocfs2: fix circular locking dependency in ocfs2_init_acl()")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202609040247.8B3lmoqX-lkp@intel.com/
