Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 1/3] ice: remove unused buffer copy code in ice_sq_send_cmd_retry()
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 20:09:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318000947.379271-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026031701-reapprove-dollar-1839@gregkh>
From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 43a630e37e259fee83ab3fd769c42e2fed97ca81 ]
The 'buf_cpy'-related code in ice_sq_send_cmd_retry() looks broken.
'buf' is nowhere copied into 'buf_cpy'.
The reason this does not cause problems is that all commands for which
'is_cmd_for_retry' is true go with a NULL buf.
Let's remove 'buf_cpy'. Add a WARN_ON in case the assumption no longer
holds in the future.
