Subject: net/mlx5: drop unnecessary list_empty
X-Git-Tag: v5.10.7~1943^2~113^2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=22f9d2f4ee810e6442185ba7ecab37e24de1b413;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

net/mlx5: drop unnecessary list_empty

list_for_each_entry is able to handle an empty list.
The only effect of avoiding the loop is not initializing the
index variable.
Drop list_empty tests in cases where these variables are not
used.

Note that list_for_each_entry is defined in terms of list_first_entry,
which indicates that it should not be used on an empty list.  But in
list_for_each_entry, the element obtained by list_first_entry is not
really accessed, only the address of its list_head field is compared
to the address of the list head, so the list_first_entry is safe.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows (with another
variant for the no brace case): (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
