The patch titled cgroups: remove some redundant NULL checks has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was cgroups-remove-some-redundant-null-checks.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: cgroups: remove some redundant NULL checks From: Li Zefan <lizf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - In cgroup_clone(), if vfs_mkdir() returns successfully, dentry->d_fsdata will be the pointer to the newly created cgroup and won't be NULL. - a cgroup file's dentry->d_fsdata won't be NULL, guaranteed by cgroup_add_file(). - When walking through the subsystems of a cgroup_fs (using for_each_subsys), cgrp->subsys[ss->subsys_id] won't be NULL, guaranteed by cgroup_create(). (Also remove 2 unused variables in cgroup_rmdir().
