Subject: [Patch net-next] ipv6: remove another useless NULL check
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2012 16:16:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1351498585-20087-1-git-send-email-amwang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1351491005.7394.7.camel@edumazet-glaptop>

When 'rt' is NULL, '&rt->dst' is NULL too because >dst
is always the first field of 'rt'. And dst_release accepts
NULL.
