Subject: [PATCH] Make kmem_cache_destroy() return void
Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2006 01:21:10 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060825212110.GB2246@martell.zuzino.mipt.ru> (raw)

un-, de-, -free, -destroy, -exit, etc functions should in general
return void. Also,

There is very little, say, filesystem driver code can do upon failed
kmem_cache_destroy(). If it will be decided to BUG in this case, BUG
should be put in generic code, instead.
