This patch removes the null test on block. block is initialized at the beginning of the function to &wblock->gblock. Since wblock is dereferenced prior to the null test, wblock must be a valid pointer, and &wblock->gblock cannot be null. The following Coccinelle script is used for detecting the change: @r@ expression e,f; identifier g,y; statement S1,S2; @@ *e = &f->g <+... f->y ...+> *if (e != NULL || ...)
