From cc6b664aa26de93d9a3f99d4021a8d88b434ed06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daeseok Youn Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:08:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/dmapool.c: remove redundant NULL check for dev in dma_pool_create() "dev" cannot be NULL because it is already checked before calling dma_pool_create(). If dev ever was NULL, the code would oops in dev_to_node() after enabling CONFIG_NUMA. It is possible that some driver is using dev==NULL and has never been run on a NUMA machine. Such a driver is probably outdated, possibly buggy and will need some attention if it starts triggering NULL derefs.
