From 97a6ec4ac021f7fbec05c15a3aa0c4aaf0461af5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Herbert Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2017 10:31:41 -0800 Subject: rhashtable: Change rhashtable_walk_start to return void Most callers of rhashtable_walk_start don't care about a resize event which is indicated by a return value of -EAGAIN. So calls to rhashtable_walk_start are wrapped wih code to ignore -EAGAIN. Something like this is common: ret = rhashtable_walk_start(rhiter); if (ret && ret != -EAGAIN) goto out; Since zero and -EAGAIN are the only possible return values from the function this check is pointless. The condition never evaluates to true. This patch changes rhashtable_walk_start to return void. This simplifies code for the callers that ignore -EAGAIN. For the few cases where the caller cares about the resize event, particularly where the table can be walked in mulitple parts for netlink or seq file dump, the function rhashtable_walk_start_check has been added that returns -EAGAIN on a resize event.
