None of the callers of pg_init_all_paths() check its return value.
Hence change the return type of pg_init_all_paths() from int into
void.

Hmm. But this would invalidate your earlier patch, now would it not?

And at least in my code we _do_ check the return value in
pg_init_done(), and it's return value is used to check if we need to
wake up for submitting waiting I/O.

Which tree is the patch made against?

Hello Hannes,

This patch applies on top of kernel v4.8-rc8. In that kernel version the return value of __pg_init_all_paths() is used but the return value of pg_init_all_paths() is not used by any caller.

Bart.
