Subject: [PATCH 3/3] btrfs: remove impossible WARN_ON in btrfs_destroy_dev_replace_tgtdev()
Date: Thu,  5 Dec 2019 14:19:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191205131959.19184-4-jth@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191205131959.19184-1-jth@kernel.org>

We have a user report, that cppcheck is complaining about a possible
NULL-pointer dereference in btrfs_destroy_dev_replace_tgtdev().

We're first dereferencing the 'tgtdev' variable and the later check for
the validity of the pointer with a WARN_ON(!tgtdev);

But all callers of btrfs_destroy_dev_replace_tgtdev() either explicitly
check if 'tgtdev' is non-NULL or directly allocate 'tgtdev', so the
WARN_ON() is impossible to hit. Just remove it to silence the checker's
complains.
