The result of container_of() operations is never NULL unless the first element of the embedding structure is extracted. This is either not the case here, or the pointer passed to container_of() is known to be not NULL. The NULL checks are therefore unnecessary and misleading. Remove them. The channges in this patch were made automatically with the following Coccinelle script. @@ type t; identifier v; statement s; @@ <+... ( t v = container_of(...); | v = container_of(...); ) ... when != v - if (\( !v \| v == NULL \) ) s ...+> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210514153606.1377119-1-linux@roeck-us.net Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
