[PATCH v2] crypto: algboss: remove NULL check in cryptomgr_schedule_probe()
Posted by Roman Smirnov 1 year, 8 months ago
The for loop will be executed at least once, so i > 0. If the loop
is interrupted before i is incremented (e.g., when checking len for NULL),
i will not be checked.

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