I'm not certain I see the difference. I just replaced the comparison of one label with another. There may have been more beauty in one or the other but it really should not have made a difference maintenance wise. Perhaps I'm just short some cdrom context here to understand your problem. Regardless. Looking at the code I think we can do something straightforward and even more stupid without needing any comparisons. Alan does this look a little better? static int cdrom_sysctl_handler(struct ctl_table *ctl, int write, struct file * filp, void __user *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { int *valp = ctl->data; int val = *valp; int ret; ret = proc_dointvec(ctl, write, filp, buffer, lenp, ppos); if (write) { /* we only care for 1 or 0. */ autoclose = !!cdrom_sysctl_settings.autoclose; autoeject = !!cdrom_sysctl_settings.autoeject; debug = !!cdrom_sysctl_settings.debug; lockdoor = !!cdrom_sysctl_settings.lock; check_media_type = !!cdrom_sysctl_settings.check; /* update the option flags according to the changes. we don't have per device options through sysctl yet, but we will have and then this will disappear. */ cdrom_update_settings(); } return ret; } Eric - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
