From 92eaa565add62d56b90987f58ea9feafc5a7c183 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:24:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] exec: kill ->load_binary != NULL check in search_binary_handler() search_binary_handler() checks ->load_binary != NULL for no reason, this method should be always defined. Turn this check into WARN_ON() and move it into __register_binfmt(). Also, kill the function pointer. The current code looks confusing, as if ->load_binary can go away after read_unlock(&binfmt_lock). But we rely on module_get(fmt->module), this fmt can't be changed or unregistered, otherwise this code is buggy anyway.
