[PATCH RFC v1] 9p/trans_fd: Use common error handling code in p9_fd_create_tcp()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfr...@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2017 10:05:20 +0100

Add a jump target so that a bit of exception handling can be better reused
at the end of this function.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

v1 - Request for comments:
I can offer another bit of information for a software development discussion. 💭

The affected source file can be compiled for the processor architecture “x86_64”
by a tool like “GCC 6.4.1+r251631-1.3” from the software distribution
“openSUSE Tumbleweed” with the following command example.

my_cc=/usr/bin/gcc-6 \
&& my_module=net/9p/trans_fd.o \
&& for XYZ in 0 s 3; do echo "   _____ $XYZ _____" \
&& my_extra="-O$XYZ" \
&& git checkout next-20171102 \
&& make -j4 CC="${my_cc}" HOSTCC="${my_cc}" EXTRA_CFLAGS="${my_extra}" 
allmodconfig "${my_module}" \
&& size "${my_module}" \
&& git checkout ':/^9p/trans_fd: Use common error handling code in 
p9_fd_create_tcp' \
&& make -j4 CC="${my_cc}" HOSTCC="${my_cc}" EXTRA_CFLAGS="${my_extra}" 
allmodconfig "${my_module}" \
&& size "${my_module}"; done


🔮 Do you find the following differences worth for further clarification?
