From 5fc9e37cd5ae762b856912cdedb226a884b3c3e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2021 13:50:48 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ucounts: Remove unnecessary test for NULL ucount in get_ucounts All of the callers of get_ucounts are passeds a non-NULL value so stop handling a NULL ucounts pointer in get_ucounts. It is guaranteed that ever valid fully formed cred that is passed to commit_cred contains a non-NULL ucounts pointer. This in turn gurantees that current_ucounts() never returns NULL. The call of get_ucounts in user_shm_lock is always passed current_ucounts(). The call of get_ucounts in mqueue_get_inode is always passed current_ucounts(). The call of get_ucounts in inc_rlmit_get_ucounts is always passed iter, after iter has been verified to be non-NULL. The call of get_ucounts in key_change_session_keyring is always passed current_ucounts(). The call of get_ucounts in prepare_cred is always passed current_ucounts(). The call of get_ucounts in prepare_kernel_cred is always passed task->cred->ucounts or init_cred->ucounts which being on tasks are guaranteed to have a non-NULL ucounts field.
