From 35d6480159daf993ba19df3b7f5e925776918fcc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 00:03:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] vt: vt_ioctl: remove unnecessary console allocation checks commit 1aa6e058dd6cd04471b1f21298270014daf48ac9 upstream. The vc_cons_allocated() checks in vt_ioctl() and vt_compat_ioctl() are unnecessary because they can only be reached by calling ioctl() on an open tty, which implies the corresponding virtual console is allocated. And even if the virtual console *could* be freed concurrently, then these checks would be broken since they aren't done under console_lock, and the vc_data is dereferenced before them anyway. So, remove these unneeded checks to avoid confusion.
