Subject: [PATCH][next] io_uring: Remove logically dead code in io_splice
Date: Mon, 4 May 2020 10:19:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200504151912.GA22779@embeddedor> (raw)

In case force_nonblock happens to be true, the function returns
at:

 2779         if (force_nonblock)
 2780                 return -EAGAIN;

before reaching this line of code. So, the null check on force_nonblock
at 2785, is never actually being executed.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1492838 ("Logically dead code")
Fixes: 2fb3e82284fc ("io_uring: punt splice async because of inode mutex")
