[PATCH v13 20/85] KVM: Remove pointless sanity check on @map param to kvm_vcpu_(un)map()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Drop kvm_vcpu_{,un}map()'s useless checks on @map being non-NULL.  The map
is 100% kernel controlled, any caller that passes a NULL pointer is broken
and needs to be fixed, i.e. a crash due to a NULL pointer dereference is
desirable (though obviously not as desirable as not having a bug in the
first place).
