Subject: [patch -next] ax25: remove unneeded NULL test in ax_xmit()
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 20:48:46 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150305174846.GA17072@mwanda> (raw)
We get a static checker warning here on devel kernels:
drivers/net/hamradio/mkiss.c:560 ax_xmit()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'skb' (see line 532)
It turns out that the NULL check can be deleted.
