Subject: [2.6 patch] drivers/block/cciss.c: fix check-after-use
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 00:28:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070730222811.GD3972@stusta.de> (raw)
The Coverity checker spotted that we have already oops'ed if "disk"
was NULL.
Since "disk" being NULL seems impossible at this point this patch
removes the NULL check.
