From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Subject: [PATCH] acpi: remove superfluous NULL pointer check from acpi_processor_get_throttling_info() From Dan's list: drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c +1139 acpi_processor_get_throttling_info(11) warning: variable derefenced before check 'pr' acpi_processor_get_throttling_info() is never called with pr == NULL. [ bart: the potential NULL pointer dereference was finally fixed in (later than mine patch) commit 5cfa245 but my patch is still valid ] Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Cc: corbet@lwn.net Cc: eteo@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz --- drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-) Index: b/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c =================================================================== --- a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c @@ -1133,9 +1133,6 @@ int acpi_processor_get_throttling_info(s int result = 0; struct acpi_processor_throttling *pthrottling; - if (!pr) - return -EINVAL; - ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, "pblk_address[0x%08x] duty_offset[%d] duty_width[%d]\n", pr->throttling.address,
