Subject: [PATCH] pipe: remove redundant assignment to pointer buf
Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2022 22:56:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220119225633.147658-1-colin.i.king@gmail.com> (raw)
The pointer buf is being assigned a value that is never read, it is
being re-assigned later on closer to where is it required to be set.
The assignment is redundant and can be removed. Cleans up clang
scan build warning:
fs/pipe.c:490:24: warning: Value stored to 'buf' during its
initialization is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
