Subject: [patch] CIFS: remove an unneeded NULL check
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 14:30:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150430143024.GA22086@mwanda> (raw)

Smatch complains because we dereference "ses->server" without checking
some lines earlier inside the call to get_next_mid(ses->server).

	fs/cifs/cifssmb.c:4921 CIFSGetDFSRefer()
	warn: variable dereferenced before check 'ses->server' (see line 4899)

There is only one caller for this function get_dfs_path() and it always
passes a non-null "ses->server" pointer so this NULL check can be
removed.
