From de8499cee59465cfa6135591d665a065539d456b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Jones Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2016 11:53:18 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: remove unnecessary inet6_sk check np is already assigned in the variable declaration of ping_v6_sendmsg. At this point, we have already dereferenced np several times, so the NULL check is also redundant. Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: David S.
