Subject: [PATCH] mm/process_vm_access: remove redundant initialization of iov_r
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2020 12:06:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201102120614.694917-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The pointer iov_r is being initialized with a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value.  The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
