From fcd4d35ecc1636c8ac50e3a6266a620eb8ff0626 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Elfring Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 21:03:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netlink: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "__module_get" The __module_get() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: David S.
