Sure. If a routine uses must_check yet its return value may be safely ignored then that must_check is simply misplaced and should be removed. It does not mean all must_checks are bad - each of them isn't bad unless one can demonstrate it is. Back to sysfs_create_bin_file() - if one can demonstrate a caller can safely ignore the return value (which, it seems, is the case), then exactly this very must_check should be removed. -- Krzysztof Halasa - 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/
