Subject: perf: xgene: Remove bogus IS_ERR() check
X-Git-Tag: v4.9-rc2~20^2~12
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9a1a1f404be55b07aea64864f98d7306cc493360;p=linux.git

perf: xgene: Remove bogus IS_ERR() check

In acpi_get_pmu_hw_inf we pass the address of a local variable to IS_ERR(),
which doesn't make sense, as the pointer must be a real, valid pointer.
This doesn't cause a functional problem, as IS_ERR() will evaluate as
false, but the check is bogus and causes static checkers to complain.

Remove the bogus check.

The bug is reported by Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> in [1]
