Subject: [patch] configfs: documentation: remove unneeded check
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 12:07:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101027100735.GE6062@bicker> (raw)

If "p" is NULL then it will cause an oops when we pass it to
simple_strtoul().  In this case "p" can not be NULL so I removed the
check and cleaned up the rest of the if condition as well.
