From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [PATCH] scsi: remove superfluous NULL pointer check from scsi_kill_request() >From Dan's list: drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c +1365 scsi_kill_request(9) warning: variable derefenced in initializer 'cmd' drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c +1365 scsi_kill_request(9) warning: variable derefenced before check 'cmd' We dereference cmd (and possible OOPS if cmd == NULL) before starting the request so just remove the superfluous debugging code altogether.
