Subject: [PATCH] fs/cachefiles: Drop superfluous readpages aops NULL check
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2020 16:27:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200827142724.15032-1-tiwai@suse.de> (raw)

After the recent actions to convert readpages aops to readahead, the
NULL checks of readpages aops in cachefiles_read_or_alloc_page() may
hit falsely.  More badly, it's an ASSERT() call, and this panics.

Drop the superfluous NULL checks for fixing this regression.
