[for-next][PATCH 1/7] ftrace: Clean up __seq_open_private() return check

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Apr 05 2017 - 12:23:12 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The return status check of __seq_open_private() is rather strange:

iter = __seq_open_private();
if (iter) {
/* do stuff */
}

return iter ? 0 : -ENOMEM;

It makes much more sense to do the return of failure right away:

iter = __seq_open_private();
if (!iter)
return -ENOMEM;

/* do stuff */

return 0;

This clean up will make updates to this code a bit nicer.
