From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Himangi Saraogi Subject: [PATCH] target/configfs: Remove unnecessary null test Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 02:29:53 +0530 Message-ID: <20140716205953.GA3231@himangi-Dell> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: "Nicholas A. Bellinger" , linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org, target-devel@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: julia.lawall@lip6.fr List-Id: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org This patch removes the null test on lun_cg. lun_cg is initialized at the beginning of the function to &lun->lun_group. Since lun_cg is dereferenced prior to the null test, it must be a valid pointer. The following Coccinelle script is used for detecting the change: @r@ expression e,f; identifier g,y; statement S1,S2; @@ *e = &f->g <+... f->y ...+> *if (e != NULL || ...)
