From 27153acbe1141ceecf098ca5d24c2ae2714c1a5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Gordeev Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 15:42:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Remove unnecessary condition check in rcu_qsctr_help() When the ->curtail and ->donetail pointers differ, ->rcucblist always points to the beginning of the current list and thus cannot be NULL. Therefore, the check ->rcucblist != NULL is redundant and this commit removes it. Cc: "Paul E. McKenney" Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev Signed-off-by: Paul E.
