Re: [PATCH v6 08/39] powerpc: rearrange do_page_fault error case to be inside exception_enter

This keeps the context tracking over the entire interrupt handler which
helps later with moving context tracking into interrupt wrappers.

Could we keep this layout with using a 'goto' to the end of the function, instead of pushing error 
handling to the right ?

Because at the end of the series once all context tracking is gone into helpers, the result looks 
unfriendly.

It would look cleaner as:

static long __do_page_fault(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	long err;
	const struct exception_table_entry *entry;

	err = ___do_page_fault(regs, regs->dar, regs->dsisr);
	if (likely(!err))
		return 0;

	entry = search_exception_tables(regs->nip);
	if (likely(entry)) {
		instruction_pointer_set(regs, extable_fixup(entry));
		return 0;
	} else if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64)) {
		/* 32 and 64e handle this in asm */
		return err;
	}
	__bad_page_fault(regs, err);
	return 0;
}
