From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jeff Layton Subject: [PATCH v7 03/49] audit: no need to walk list in audit_inode if name is NULL Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2012 20:16:12 -0400 Message-ID: <1349137018-21948-4-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com> References: <1349137018-21948-1-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-audit@redhat.com, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To: viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk Return-path: In-Reply-To: <1349137018-21948-1-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com> List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: linux-audit-bounces@redhat.com Errors-To: linux-audit-bounces@redhat.com List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org If name is NULL then the condition in the loop will never be true. Also, with this change, we can eliminate the check for n->name == NULL since the equivalence check will never be true if it is.
