[PATCH] RDMA/rxe: remove redundant assignment to variable page_offset
Posted by Colin Ian King 2 months ago
The variable page_offset is being assigned a value at the start of
a loop and being redundantly zero'd at the end of the loop, there
is no code that reads the zero'd value. The assignment is redundant
and can be removed.

int rxe_odp_flush_pmem_iova(struct rxe_mr *mr, u64 iova,
			    unsigned int length)
{
	unsigned int page_offset;
...
	while (length > 0) {
		index = rxe_odp_iova_to_index(umem_odp, iova);
		page_offset = rxe_odp_iova_to_page_offset(umem_odp, iova);
...
		page_offset = 0;
	}

	mutex_unlock(&umem_odp->umem_mutex);

	return 0;
}
 From the above, in the functions rxe_mr_flush_pmem_iova and 
rxe_odp_flush_pmem_iova, within the while loop, the variable page_offset 
is assigned a value. At the end of the loop, page_offset is set to 0. 
However, this assignment at the end of the loop is actually unnecessary.
