New code for 5.20:
- Improve scalability of the XFS log by removing spinlocks and global
synchronization points.
- Add security labels to whiteout inodes to match the other filesystems.
- Clean up per-ag pointer passing to simplify call sites.
- Reduce verifier overhead by precalculating more AG geometry.
xfs: removed useless condition in function xfs_attr_node_get
At line 1561, variable "state" is being compared
with NULL every loop iteration.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1561 for (i = 0; state != NULL && i < state->path.active; i++) {
1562 xfs_trans_brelse(args->trans, state->path.blk[i].bp);
1563 state->path.blk[i].bp = NULL;
1564 }
-------------------------------------------------------------------
However, it cannot be NULL.
----------------------------------------
1546 state = xfs_da_state_alloc(args);
----------------------------------------
xfs_da_state_alloc calls kmem_cache_zalloc. kmem_cache_zalloc is
called with __GFP_NOFAIL flag and, therefore, it cannot return NULL.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
struct xfs_da_state *
xfs_da_state_alloc(
struct xfs_da_args *args)
{
struct xfs_da_state *state;
state = kmem_cache_zalloc(xfs_da_state_cache, GFP_NOFS | __GFP_NOFAIL);
state->args = args;
state->mp = args->dp->i_mount;
return state;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
