Subject: [PATCH v3 07/20] x86/kgdb: Avoid redundant comparison of patched code
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2019 15:44:38 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190221234451.17632-8-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190221234451.17632-1-rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>
From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>
text_poke() already ensures that the written value is the correct one
and fails if that is not the case. There is no need for an additional
comparison. Remove it.
