From: Markus Elfring Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 19:10:34 +0000 (+0100) Subject: net: pktgen: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "proc_remove" X-Git-Tag: v4.9.8~5202^2~163 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ef87c5d6a11af45c31910728e46642e77aa8db61;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi3.git net: pktgen: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "proc_remove" The proc_remove() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: David S.
