From 08397acdd0f02d566154c9ac7f625ae8e77133b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 11:43:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] 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...
