Subject: mm/dmapool.c: remove redundant NULL check for dev in dma_pool_create()
X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cc6b664aa26d;p=sagit-ice-cold%2Fkernel_xiaomi_msm8998.git

mm/dmapool.c: remove redundant NULL check for dev in dma_pool_create()

"dev" cannot be NULL because it is already checked before calling
dma_pool_create().

If dev ever was NULL, the code would oops in dev_to_node() after enabling
CONFIG_NUMA.

It is possible that some driver is using dev==NULL and has never been run
on a NUMA machine.  Such a driver is probably outdated, possibly buggy and
will need some attention if it starts triggering NULL derefs.
