Look at the pseudo code below. It's very clear that, the judgement "!is_file_hugepages(file)" at 3) is duplicated to the one at 1), we can use "else if" to avoid it. And the assignment "retval = -EINVAL" at 2) is only needed by the branch 3), because "retval" will be overwritten at 4). No functional change, but it can reduce the code size. Maybe more clearer?

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.
