Why to keep the if-statement? Has the following been considered?

diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/ulp/rtrs/rtrs-clt.c b/drivers/infiniband/ulp/rtrs/rtrs-clt.c
index 8dfa56dc32bc..a7f5d55f8542 100644

@@ -1587,8 +1587,6 @@ static int create_con_cq_qp(struct rtrs_clt_con *con)
 	 * since destroy_con_cq_qp() must be called.
 	 */

-	if (err)
-		return err;
 	return err;
 }

Bart.
