Subject: [trivial] module.c double init?
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 20:53:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3DB76EC0.F9EB4A36@verizon.net> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 230 bytes --]

in 2.5.44: kernel/module.c, function s_start(), there is:
	loff_t n = *pos;

and then same "n = *pos" is done in the for-loop initializer.
It's just a thinko, right?  or am I missing something?

Patch attached (to 2.5.44).
