Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2014 17:03:54 +0100 From: SF Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net> To: Alexander Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org CC: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, kernel-janitors@...r.kernel.org, Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@...6.fr> Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fs-namei: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "iput" From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net> Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2014 17:00:21 +0100 The iput() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
