From 25885a35a72007cf28ec5f9ba7169c5c798f7167 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2022 11:57:56 -0400 Subject: Change calling conventions for filldir_t filldir_t instances (directory iterators callbacks) used to return 0 for "OK, keep going" or -E... for "stop". Note that it's *NOT* how the error values are reported - the rules for those are callback-dependent and ->iterate{,_shared}() instances only care about zero vs. non-zero (look at emit_dir() and friends). So let's just return bool ("should we keep going?") - it's less confusing that way. The choice between "true means keep going" and "true means stop" is bikesheddable; we have two groups of callbacks - do something for everything in directory, until we run into problem and find an entry in directory and do something to it. The former tended to use 0/-E... conventions - -E on failure. The latter tended to use 0/1, 1 being "stop, we are done". The callers treated anything non-zero as "stop", ignoring which non-zero value did they get. "true means stop" would be more natural for the second group; "true means keep going" - for the first one. I tried both variants and the things like if allocation failed something = -ENOMEM; return true; just looked unnatural and asking for trouble.
