o I personally hate Yoda code ("Null the pointer is not, young Jedi").
o Old code simply returned -ENOMEM without printk. Assuming this was
sufficient before, the printk can be dropped.
Ok, I'll drop the printk
o Some people prefer assigning err outside the condition. It is
supposed to give slightly better code on i386, iirc.
Result would be something like:
c_bh = kmalloc(...
err = -ENOMEM;
if (!c_bh)
goto error;
That wouldn't work so well since we always return err, and possibly
slightly better code for i386 doesn't seem all that worth it.

Whether this printk makes sense, I cannot tell.
I suppose I might as well drop it.

Based on the same reasoning you provided, I should probably drop this one too.

As above.
I'll drop the printk, but the same holds true about err

kfree(NULL) works just fine. You can remove the condition.
Thanks, I should have checked that :-)

You could keep the old indentation if your condition was changed to
if (!wait)
return 0;
Sounds good.
