Subject: [merged] ocfs2-clean-up-dead-code-in-ocfs2_acl_from_xattr.patch removed from -mm tree To: joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxx,jlbec@xxxxxxxxxxxx,mfasheh@xxxxxxxx,mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:41:31 -0700 The patch titled Subject: ocfs2: clean up dead code in ocfs2_acl_from_xattr() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ocfs2-clean-up-dead-code-in-ocfs2_acl_from_xattr.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: clean up dead code in ocfs2_acl_from_xattr() In ocfs2_acl_from_xattr(), if size is less than sizeof(struct posix_acl_entry), it returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) directly. Then assign (size / sizeof(struct posix_acl_entry)) to count which will be at least 1, that means the following branch (count < 0) and (count == 0) will never be true.
