If you're "cleaning up" good and working code the functionality should be the same as before. The old code handled this situation fine. So your new code should handle this too. In general yes handling all the corner cases makes code ugly. That is how the existing code got how it became. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
