I think you're suggesting that we should verify __smem is non-null first?
I'll make a few statements about that.
- This function can only be called with a pointer that was returned by
qcom_smem_get(). That function won't return a valid pointer unless
__smem was non-null.
- The only other way __smem would be null is if this were called after
qcom_smem_remove(), which is erroneous.
- I think putting a null pointer check suggests that it's a condition
that might be expected to occur. If anything, I'd put an assertion
in there (e.g. BUG_ON(!__smem)) but I don't think it's warranted.
I do understand why you suggest this--and it's a relatively harmless
check. But I think it's better without it.
