Subject: [PATCH] ext4: remove unnecessary checks for __GFP_NOFAIL allocation.
Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2025 16:11:26 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250228081126.2634480-1-sunjunchao2870@gmail.com> (raw)

The __GFP_NOFAIL flag ensures that allocation will not fail.
So remove the unnecessary checks.
