Subject: [PATCH] block: Remove unnecessary NULL check in bdrv_pad_request()
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 20:27:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240327192750.204197-1-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
Coverity complains that the check introduced in commit 3f934817 suggests
that qiov could be NULL and we dereference it before reaching the check.
In fact, all of the callers pass a non-NULL pointer, so just remove the
misleading check.
Resolves: Coverity CID 1542668
Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
