From 36885d7b1121c779e4060d45472fe53a5b21e09f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucas De Marchi Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 02:36:05 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: remove impossible condition check Remove checks for conditions that will never happen. If procname is NULL the loop would already had bailed out, so there's no need to check it again. At the same time this also compacts the function find_in_table() by refactoring it to be easier to read. Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi Reviewed-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Eric W.
