Subject: rcu: Remove unnecessary condition check in rcu_qsctr_help()
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~1991^2~2^2^7~1
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=27153acbe1141ceecf098ca5d24c2ae2714c1a5f;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

rcu: Remove unnecessary condition check in rcu_qsctr_help()

When the ->curtail and ->donetail pointers differ, ->rcucblist
always points to the beginning of the current list and thus
cannot be NULL. Therefore, the check ->rcucblist != NULL is
redundant and this commit removes it.
