No longer fall through into the error case that prints out
an error if no error (err = 0) occurred.

Thanks for catching that.

On second thought, isn't the common pattern when clean up is needed for
both the no-error path and the error path something like:


out:
of_node_put(tree_symbols);
return err;

err_out:
pr_err("overlay phandle fixup failed: %d\n", err);
goto out;
}


I don't have a strong opinion, whatever Rob wants to take is fine with me.

Same here. I tried to avoid the jumping back part, but if that's the
common pattern,
I can submit a v2 doing that instead.

Both are ugly. Just do:

if (err)
pr_err(...);

I succumbed to looking only at the few lines of code above and not the
fuller context of the file that the patch applies to.

The proposed patch was fixing the problem that a normal completion
of the for loop was falling through into the err_out label. So what
looks cleaner ("if (err) pr_err(...)") is actually not correct.

What!? The *only* problem was printing the error message in the err=0
case. All that needs to be fixed is not doing that. If we do that,
then we really only need 1 goto label.

I think you're right. Can you look at my v3 that I sent. I also tried to
fix cases where we can just do

return 0;

vs.

err = 0;
goto err

...

err:
of_node_put(NULL /*tree_symbols is NULL*/);
return err;

Thanks,

Moritz

I misread your original suggestion to mean to put the "if (err) pr_err(...)"
inside the for loop, where Moritz had made his changes.

Now I understand what you really meant, to put the "if (err) pr_err(...)"
after the for loop.

Yes, that is a good way to do it.

Sorry for the extra noise....
