[PATCH] wifi: nl80211: remove redundant null pointer check in coalescing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In 'cfg80211_free_coalesce', '&coalesce->rules[i]' is a pointer
to VLA member of 'struct cfg80211_coalesce' and should never be NULL,
so redundant check may be dropped.

I think this is correct, but I haven't tested it seriously.
Compile tested only.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
