From 83d7eb2979cd3390c375470225dd2d8f2009bc70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2010 16:42:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: cleanup: remove unneeded null check We dereference "sk" unconditionally elsewhere in the function. This was left over from: b30bd282 "ip6_xmit: remove unnecessary NULL ptr check". According to that commit message, "the sk argument to ip6_xmit is never NULL nowadays since the skb->priority assigment expects a valid socket."
