Subject: [PATCH 5.10 059/102] fs: make unlazy_walk() error handling consistent
Date: Fri,  5 Mar 2021 13:21:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210305120906.184092495@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210305120903.276489876@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

[ Upstream commit e36cffed20a324e116f329a94061ae30dd26fb51 ]

Most callers check for non-zero return, and assume it's -ECHILD (which
it always will be). One caller uses the actual error return. Clean this
up and make it fully consistent, by having unlazy_walk() return a bool
instead. Rename it to try_to_unlazy() and return true on success, and
failure on error. That's easier to read.

No functional changes in this patch.
