From: Murilo Opsfelder Araujo <muriloo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7e415282b41bf0d15c6e0fe268f822d9b083f2f7 upstream. GCC 12 enhanced -Waddress when comparing array address to null [0], which warns: drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c: In function ‘vp_del_vqs’: drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c:257:29: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as ‘true’ for the pointer operand in ‘vp_dev->msix_affinity_masks + (sizetype)((long unsigned int)i * 256)’ must not be NULL [-Waddress] 257 | if (vp_dev->msix_affinity_masks[i]) | ^~~~~~ In fact, the verification is comparing the result of a pointer arithmetic, the address "msix_affinity_masks + i", which will always evaluate to true. Under the hood, free_cpumask_var() calls kfree(), which is safe to pass NULL, not requiring non-null verification. So remove the verification to make compiler happy (happy compiler, happy life).
