[PATCH v3 8/9] pseries/papr-hvpipe: Refactor and simplify hvpipe_rtas_recv_msg()

From: "Ritesh Harjani (IBM)" <ritesh.list@gmail.com>
Date: 2026-05-01 04:12:49
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

Simplify hvpipe_rtas_recv_msg() by removing three levels of nesting...
if (!ret)
    if (buf)
	if (size < bytes_written)
... this refactoring of the function bails out to "out:" label first, in case
of any error. This simplifies the init flow.
