From c1ff3f95497e64b67230bddc1242f2d228880859 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mateusz Nosek Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2020 16:48:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/slab.c: clean code by removing redundant if condition The removed code was unnecessary and changed nothing in the flow, since in case of returning NULL by 'kmem_cache_alloc_node' returning 'freelist' from the function in question is the same as returning NULL.
