Subject: ERR_PTR and PTR_ERR
Date: Sun, 16 May 2010 10:58:52 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.1005161055580.6573@ask.diku.dk> (raw)
I see a number of occurrences of code like the following:
if (IS_ERR(alg))
return ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(alg));
Is there any reason why the second line couldn't just be return alg?
