Subject: [PATCH 2/5] exec: kill ->load_binary != NULL check in search_binary_handler()
Date: Fri, 2 Aug 2013 21:27:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130802192736.GA9568@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130802192713.GA9543@redhat.com>

search_binary_handler() checks ->load_binary != NULL for no reason,
this method should be always defined. Turn this check into WARN_ON()
and move it into __register_binfmt().

Also, kill the function pointer. The current code looks confusing,
as if ->load_binary can go away after read_unlock(&binfmt_lock).
But we rely on module_get(fmt->module), this fmt can't be changed
or unregistered, otherwise this code is buggy anyway.
