VOP_LEASE(...) or (void)VOP_LEASE(...)?

1999-05-13 Thread Zhihui Zhang
VOP_LEASE(...) always returns 0 so there is no actual need to check its return value. But still it has a return value. So should we use (void)VOP_LEASE(...) instead of just VOP_LEASE(...)? BTW, I guess that the practice of modifying default_vnodeop_p[VOFFSET(vop_lease)] in nfs_init() is a hack.
