[PATCH 0/6] remove check around pthread_mutex_init()

[PATCH 0/6] remove check around pthread_mutex_init()

[Ariel Otilibili]

Hello,

This series addresses Bugzilla ID 1586; the man says

> pthread_mutex_init always returns 0. The other mutex functions
> return 0 on success and a non-zero error code on error.

Meaning, the check around around pthread_mutex_init() is needless.

Thank you,

[PATCH v2 0/6] remove check around pthread_mutex_init()

[Ariel Otilibili]

Hello,

This series addresses Bugzilla ID 1586; the man says

> pthread_mutex_init always returns 0. The other mutex functions
> return 0 on success and a non-zero error code on error.

Meaning, the check around around pthread_mutex_init() is needless.

[PATCH v3 0/6] remove check around pthread_mutex_init()

[Ariel Otilibili]

Hello,

This series addresses Bugzilla ID 1586; the man says

> pthread_mutex_init always returns 0. The other mutex functions
> return 0 on success and a non-zero error code on error.

Meaning, the check around around pthread_mutex_init() is needless.

Thank you,

[PATCH 1/1] eal/linux: Remove unused values

[Ariel Otilibili]

Found by static analysis:

In dev_uev_socket_fd_create(), fd is assigned before a return,
and not used.

The same for the variables buf and i in dev_uev_parse().

Fixes: c2bd9367e18f ("lib: remove direct access to interrupt handle")
Fixes: 0d0f478d0483 ("eal/linux: add uevent parse and process")

[PATCH v4 0/6] remove check around pthread_mutex_init()

Hello,

This series addresses Bugzilla ID 1586; the man says

Meaning, the check around around pthread_mutex_init() is needless.
