From 6b3c538f5b2cfc53cb6803ec5001bbcf8f18a98e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:24:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] exec: cleanup the error handling in search_binary_handler() The error hanling and ret-from-loop look confusing and inconsistent. - "retval >= 0" simply returns - "!bprm->file" returns too but with read_unlock() because binfmt_lock was already re-acquired - "retval != -ENOEXEC || bprm->mm == NULL" does "break" and relies on the same check after the main loop Consolidate these checks into a single if/return statement. need_retry still checks "retval == -ENOEXEC", but this and -ENOENT before the main loop are not needed. This is only for pathological and impossible list_empty(&formats) case. It is not clear why do we check "bprm->mm == NULL", probably this should be removed.
