From b0c24c3bdf237182b2f043bfee68bf886b0c9ad3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2015 19:10:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] link_path_walk: handle get_link() returning ERR_PTR() immediately If we get ERR_PTR() from get_link(), we are guaranteed to get err != 0 when we break out of do-while, so we are going to hit if (err) return err; shortly after it. Pull that into the if (IS_ERR(s)) body.
