Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/3] mm/vma: cleanup error handling path in vma_expand()
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:26:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <hoezvrhluigvmhklz5mn36wghkzzi46migabgqa6ipoefdreyv@ziljtzlif63y> (raw)

* Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com> [260217 11:33]:
> vma_expand() error handling is a bit confusing with "if (ret) return ret;"
> mixed with "if (!ret && ...) ret = ...;". Simplify the code to check
> for errors and return immediately after an operation that might fail.
> This also makes later changes to this function more readable.
>
> No functional change intended.
