Drop the unneeded initialization of the local variable file in function secretmem_file_create(). No functional change and no change in the resulting object code. This unneeded initialization was already introduced with the introduction of secretmem in commit 1507f51255c9 ("mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas"). This minor code-stylistic issue was discovered as a dead store with clang-analyzer. Signed-off-by: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@xxxxxxxxx> --- Mike, please ack. Andrew, please pick this minor stylistic clean-up patch. Thanks. mm/secretmem.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/mm/secretmem.c b/mm/secretmem.c index 7584aab54d20..46b431d62761 100644 --- a/mm/secretmem.c +++ b/mm/secretmem.c @@ -171,7 +171,7 @@ static struct vfsmount *secretmem_mnt; static struct file *secretmem_file_create(unsigned long flags) { - struct file *file = ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); + struct file *file; struct inode *inode; const char *anon_name = "[secretmem]"; const struct qstr qname = QSTR_INIT(anon_name, strlen(anon_name)); -- 2.17.1
