Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7996: remove redundant NULL check in mt7996_msdu_page_get_from_cache()
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 18:34:13 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251023-mt7996_mac_c-v1-1-580a3cbb2678@gmail.com> (raw)
Smatch reported a warning that the NULL check on `p` in
`mt7996_msdu_page_get_from_cache()` is redundant:
drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7996/mac.c:1651
mt7996_msdu_page_get_from_cache() warn: can 'p' even be NULL?
The function first checks `list_empty(&dev->wed_rro.page_cache)` before
calling `list_first_entry()`. When the list is not empty,
`list_first_entry()` always returns a valid pointer and can never be NULL.
Hence, the `if (p)` condition is unnecessary. Removing it cleans up the
code.
