We had an error handling pattern for read_tree_block() like this: eb = read_tree_block(); if (IS_ERR(eb)) { /* * Handling error here * Normally ended up with return or goto out. */ } else if (!extent_buffer_uptodate(eb)) { /* * Different error handling here * Normally also ended up with return or goto out; */ } This is fine, but if we want to add extra check for each read_tree_block(), the existing if-else-if is not that expandable and will take reader some seconds to figure out there is no extra branch. Here we change it to a more common way, without the extra else: eb = read_tree_block(); if (IS_ERR(eb)) { /* * Handling error here */ return eb or goto out; } if (!extent_buffer_uptodate(eb)) { /* * Different error handling here */ return eb or goto out; } This also removes some oddball call sites which uses some creative way to check error.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
