From 6859e7df6d9045a461412777e63bd8cef12f9705 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Veaceslav Falico Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 11:25:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netdev: remove potentially harmful checks Currently we're checking a variable for != NULL after actually dereferencing it, in netdev_lower_get_next_private*(). It's counter-intuitive at best, and can lead to faulty usage (as it implies that the variable can be NULL), so fix it by removing the useless checks. Reported-by: Daniel Borkmann CC: "David S.
