Subject: ksmbd: remove redundant DACL check in smb_check_perm_dacl
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8dd2e58b62731a96e276ee0545fb910ffb2057d9;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

ksmbd: remove redundant DACL check in smb_check_perm_dacl

A zero value of pdacl->num_aces is already handled at the start of
smb_check_perm_dacl() so the second check is useless.

Drop the unreachable code block, no functional impact intended.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
