scsi: remove superfluous NULL pointer check from scsi_kill_request()
Dan's list included: drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c +1365 scsi_kill_request(9) warning: variable derefenced in initializer 'cmd' drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c +1365 scsi_kill_request(9) warning: variable derefenced before check 'cmd' We dereference cmd (and possible OOPS if cmd == NULL) before starting the request so just remove the superfluous debugging code altogether. [ bart: the potential NULL pointer dereference was finally fixed in (much later than mine) commit 03b1470 but my patch is still valid ] Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Eugene Teo <eteo@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
