Subject: ioctx_alloc(): remove pointless check
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=08397acdd0f02d566154c9ac7f625ae8e77133b3;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

ioctx_alloc(): remove pointless check

Way, way back kiocb used to be picked from arrays, so ioctx_alloc()
checked for multiplication overflow when calculating the size of
such array.  By the time fs/aio.c went into the tree (in 2002) they
were already allocated one-by-one by kmem_cache_alloc(), so that
check had already become pointless.  Let's bury it...
