[PATCH] staging: erofs: using switch-case while checking the inode type.

[PATCH] staging: erofs: using switch-case while checking the inode type.

[Pratik Shinde]

while filling the linux inode, using switch-case statement to check
the type of inode.
switch-case statement looks more clean.

No, that is not the case, see __ext4_iget() in fs/ext4/inode.c.
and could you write patches based on latest staging tree?
erofs is now in "fs/" rather than "drivers/staging".
and I will review it then.

p.s. if someone argues here or there, there will be endless
issues since there is no standard at all.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang

Hi Gao,

Sorry I didn't pull the latest tree. I will do the necessary.
Anyways, don't you think it will be cleaner to have a switch case statement
rather than if-else statement.

I think so, but that's another personal choise and no urgent
as well (It is just a cleanup to some extent).

I am very happy that you send a patch about this, but we have
to take care of handling "fall through" properly at least,
and I don't want to introduce some extra compile warnings
instead at this time.

EROFS is sensitive for now and I have no idea what the "real"
point is.

I can't apply the patch so I maybe missed something.  I don't see
a fall through issue.  We have the code so you could use ^^^^^^^^ to
indicate which lines have a fall through problem.

What does "sensitive" mean here?  Now that it's out of staging we
aren't applying clean up patches?

Of course not, I mean we should avoid "fall through" problem
but I have no time to verify this patch since I am fixing what
hch said as well.

Again, due to language obstacle, I have to give a detailed explanation
of what "sensitive" meant here.

I meant it seems all topic had no relationship with EROFS at all, but
someone mentioned erofs in different topics, I have no idea what is
wrong with EROFS, and I have no idea where it is like POS.

As your unlikely/likely concern, I think I discussed with you earlier,
in fact, most of EROFS unlikely is due to error handling paths, which are
meaningful in my thought.

If you argue that it has little performance difference, I think unlikely
in IS_ERR can also be killed as well since for most use cases in Linux
it is true that they are little performance difference at all. But I
think totally it will have some impact.

Anyway, I didn't find some formal standard about this, and I remove all
of these as you like.

More complaining...  It doesn't matter if you can find ext4 that looks
like dog poop, that's irrelevant.
