[PATCH] Make kmem_cache_destroy() return void
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
un-, de-, -free, -destroy, -exit, etc functions should in general return
void.  Also,

There is very little, say, filesystem driver code can do upon failed
kmem_cache_destroy().  If it will be decided to BUG in this case, BUG
should be put in generic code, instead.
