Subject: [PATCH 1/2] taskstats: drop the dead NULL attribute check in parse()
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 20:21:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728202104.17839-2-include@grrlz.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728202104.17839-1-include@grrlz.net>
taskstats_user_cmd() only calls the cpumask handlers after checking the
same info->attrs[] entry, so parse() never sees a NULL attribute. Drop the
check and its odd "return 1", which no caller tested for anyway.
No functional change.
