[PATCH 0/5] net/9p: Fine-tuning for some function implementations

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 13:43:21 +0200

Some update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (5):
  Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation in five functions
  Improve 19 size determinations
  Add a jump target in p9_client_walk()
  Adjust a jump target in p9_client_attach()
  Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation in p9_client_attach()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 08:25:41 +0200

Omit an extra message for a memory allocation failure in these functions.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

[PATCH 2/5] net/9p: Improve 19 size determinations

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 09:36:20 +0200

Replace the specification of data structures by variable references
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

Garbage.  This makes it so much harder to find where the objects of given
type are created.  It's _not_ safer and any patches of that sort around
VFS will be shitcanned.  What to do with net/9p patches is up to net/9p
maintainers, but I would strongly recommend the same treatment.

[PATCH 3/5] net/9p: Add a jump target in p9_client_walk()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 10:07:22 +0200

Replace a variable assignment by a goto statement so that an extra check
will be avoided at the end of this function.
