The quilt patch titled Subject: assoc_array: fix the return value in assoc_array_insert_mid_shortcut() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was assoc_array-fix-the-return-value-in-assoc_array_insert_mid_shortcut.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Roman Smirnov <r.smirnov@xxxxxx> Subject: assoc_array: fix the return value in assoc_array_insert_mid_shortcut() Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2024 10:17:17 +0300 Returning the edit variable is redundant because it is dereferenced right before it is returned. It would be better to return true. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
