From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2014 09:05:25 +0100 The p9_client_clunk() function was called in one case by the v9fs_fid_xattr_get() function during error handling even if the passed variable "attr_fid" contained a null pointer. Let us delete an unnecessary variable assignment there and return from this implementation directly after a failure detection for a p9_client_xattrwalk() call.
