4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d1edc085559744fbda7a55e97eeae8bd6135a11b ] The non-null check on tskb is always false because it is in an else path of a check on tskb and hence tskb is null in this code block. This is check is therefore redundant and can be removed as well as the label coalesc. if (tsbk) { ... } else { ... if (unlikely(!skb)) { if (tskb) /* can never be true, redundant code */ goto coalesc; return; } } Addresses-Coverity: ("Logically dead code") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Mukesh Ojha <mojha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
