Subject: ipv6: Remove redundant dst NULL check in ip6_dst_check
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=10414444cb8a8ee8893e00390b7cf40502e28352;p=linux-beck.git

ipv6: Remove redundant dst NULL check in ip6_dst_check

As the only path leading to ip6_dst_check makes an indirect call
through dst->ops, dst cannot be NULL in ip6_dst_check.

This patch removes this check in case it misleads people who
come across this code.
