There are two separate checks in prctl_enable_tagged_addr() that nr_bits is in the correct range. The checks are arranged such the correct case is sandwiched between both error cases, which do exactly the same thing. Simplify the if condition and pull the correct case outside with the rest of the success code path. Signed-off-by: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Kirill A.
