Subject: [PATCH] mm/mmap: delete dead code in do_brk_flags()
Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2022 15:25:18 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YmqHrpo/cBBq6lHf@kili> (raw)
This code can't be reached. It's harmless but it leads to a Smatch
warning:
mm/mmap.c:3040 do_brk_flags() warn: ignoring unreachable code.
Fixes: d2bbe46ab3b9 ("mm/mmap: change do_brk_flags() to expand existing VMA and add do_brk_munmap()")
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

This doesn't fix a bug, but I added a Fixes tag so that it could be
folded in together with the original commit.
