Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: remove unnecessary NULL check for the new inode during rename exchange
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2021 15:28:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8dd8e8f3020a5bd13ae22a1f21b8328adc1f4636.1627568438.git.fdmanana@suse.com> (raw)

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

At the very end of btrfs_rename_exchange(), in case an error happened, we
are checking if 'new_inode' is NULL, but that is not needed since during a
rename exchange, unlike regular renames, 'new_inode' can never be NULL,
and if it were, we would have a crash much earlier when we dereference it
multiple times.

So remove the check because it is not necessary and because it is causing
static checkers to emit a warning. I probably introduced the check by
copy-pasting similar code from btrfs_rename(), where 'new_inode' can be
NULL, in commit 86e8aa0e772cab ("Btrfs: unpin logs if rename exchange
operation fails").
