Subject: alloc_file(): simplify handling of mnt_clone_write() errors
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:48:44 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ada7hsm8x1v.fsf@roland-alpha.cisco.com> (raw)
When alloc_file() and init_file() were combined, the error handling of
mnt_clone_write() was taken into alloc_file() in a somewhat obfuscated
way. Since we don't use the error code for anything except warning,
we might as well warn directly without an extra variable.
