Subject: [PATCH][next] xattr: remove redundant check on variable err
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2024 18:01:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241030180140.3103156-1-colin.i.king@gmail.com> (raw)

Curretly in function generic_listxattr the for_each_xattr_handler loop
checks err and will return out of the function if err is non-zero.
It's impossible for err to be non-zero at the end of the function where
err is checked again for a non-zero value. The final non-zero check is
therefore redundant and can be removed.
