Function uses multi-way decision for control flow. Final statement of
function is spin_unlock(). Code can be simplified by adding a goto label
labelling the call to spin_unlock() and jumping to label instead of
using multi-way decision. This allows the code to be indented one
level less which adds to the readability.

Add goto label. Remove multi-way decision by jumping to label. Reduce
indentation in subsequent code. Do not change program logic.

Kernel networking code predominately uses the identifier 'skb' for a struct
sk_buff pointer. Of 8088 instances of 'struct sk_buff *' within
net/ 6670 are named 'skb'. Following the principle of least surprise,
new networking code should use the identifier 'skb' for variables of
type 'struct sk_buff *'.

Function contains a local pointer variable defined to a memory location
within a structure. This memory location is later used by
dereferencing the struct instead of using the local pointer. The code
is cleaner if all references of the same memory location use the
local variable.

struct.

Function uses overly complex calls to memcpy(). Code may be simplified
by the use of a local variable. Code sometimes uses explicit address
of initial array element and sometimes does not. Uniformity aids
readability. If array pointers are explicit it aids readability further.

the correct memory location. Use newly defined variable in calls to
memcpy(). Be uniform in use of explicit address of first element of

Multi-way decision contains two anomalies.

Firstly, a local variable is defined to be the inverse truth variable
of a struct member. This local variable is used as the conditional to
the multi-way decision. This is unnecessary, the same logic can be
expressed using the struct member directly.

Secondly, there are four branches in the multi-way decision, two of
which can never be executed. This is dead code.

Remove unnecessary local variable. Remove two branches of multi-way
decision statement that can never be executed.

Function contains compound statement delineated by lone braces. This
statement represents a discreet set of functionality and thus can be
factored out into a separate function. Using a separate function
instead of a compound statement increases readability, reduces code
indentation, reduces function length, and generally looks more tidy.

Function has duplicate code clean up sequences; identical function
call followed by return. This would be better expressed with the use
of a goto statement, as is typical in-tree.

One call site places the clean up code within the 'else' branch of an
multi-way decision. This can be more clearly expressed by inverting
the initial decision conditional and jumping directly to the cleanup
code. Subsequent code indentation can then be reduced, aiding
readability.

Fix function return code execution path. Move clean up code to end of
function with a label. Replace duplicate clean up code within function
with a jump to label. Invert conditional, jump to label if new
conditional evaluates to true, reduce indentation in subsequent code.

Function has return type 'int'. Function has internal linkage. Function
returns 0 on all execution paths. Function is called only once in the
driver and the return value is not checked. Removal of this return
value does not change the program logic. The 'int' return type is not
adding any information thus it is better to remove it.

'void'.

A number of functions have blocks of code guarded by an if statement.

if (foo) {
       	/* block of code */
}

This can, on occasion, more succinctly be expressed as

if (!foo)
	return

/* block of code */

This change will mean a number of whitespace issues need to be
addressed/fixed. The diff can be a little hard to read when there are
multiple lines that are very similar (for example error return
code). Splitting the indentation reduction and the whitespace fixes
into two separate patches was not found to aid reading the
diff. Therefor we fix the whitespace issues at the same time. We need
to be very sure to not make any changes to the program logic, this is
ensured by only doing what is stated - invert the conditional, fix
whitespace.

Invert if statement conditionals. Return if new conditional evaluates
to true. Reduce level of indentation in subsequent code. Fix white
space issues.
