mntget, mntput, dput and pathput all test their arguments to see if they are NULL before taking any action, so testing for NULL in namespace_unlock is redundant. Remove the redundant checks making namespace_unlock a little shorter and easier to read. This also makes it possible for mnt_ex_mountpoint.mnt to be NULL allowing putting a dentry without a mount. This is will be needed in __detach_mounts when detaching already unmounted children, as part of the fix for MNT_DETACH on MNT_LOCKED mounts. Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
