Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] kernel/nsproxy: remove unnecessary guards
Date: Thu, 8 May 2025 14:49:29 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250508184930.183040-2-jsavitz@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250508184930.183040-1-jsavitz@redhat.com>
In free_nsproxy() and the error path of create_new_namesapces() the
put_*_ns() calls are guarded by unnecessary NULL checks.
put_pid_ns(), put_ipc_ns(), put_uts_ns(), and put_time_ns() will never
receive a NULL argument unless their namespace type is disabled, and in
this case all four become no-ops at compile time anyway. put_mnt_ns()
will never receive a null argument at any time.
This unguarded usage is in line with other call sites of put_*_ns().
