Subject: [PATCH v4 05/20] xattr: Remove unnecessary NULL attribute name check
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 23:21:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1471900928-21588-6-git-send-email-agruenba@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1471900928-21588-1-git-send-email-agruenba@redhat.com>

When NULL is passed to one of the xattr system calls as the attribute
name, copying that name from user space already fails with -EFAULT;
xattr_resolve_name is never called with a NULL attribute name.
