Subject: [PATCH] vfs: delete surplus inode NULL check
Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:49:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120919144948.17233.18361.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
From: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>
Each iteration of d_delete we reload inode from dentry->d_inode and
then call S_ISDIR(inode-i_mode), so inode cannot possibly be NULL
shortly afterwards unless something went horribly wrong.
