Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/3] staging: lustre: Delete unnecessary checks before
 two function calls

I don't like these patches because relying on hidden sanity checks makes
the code harder to read.

I am CC'd on all these patches because of kernel-janitors and normally I
ignore them but this is drivers/staging so I am invested in this code.
Feel free to send them to other subsystems though.

regards,
dan carpenter
