From 6e662ae7bce6db602f79e57791f5fb887fb7d371 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yafang Shao Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2018 19:12:14 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/process: Avoid unnecessary NULL check in get_wchan() Task 'p' is always guaranteed to be non-NULL, because the only call sites are in fs/proc/ which all guarantee a non-NULL task pointer.
