[PATCH] cachefiles: Drop superfluous readpages aops NULL check

From: David Howells
Date: Mon Oct 19 2020 - 10:57:08 EST


From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

After the recent actions to convert readpages aops to readahead, the
NULL checks of readpages aops in cachefiles_read_or_alloc_page() may
hit falsely. More badly, it's an ASSERT() call, and this panics.

Drop the superfluous NULL checks for fixing this regression.

[DH: Note that cachefiles never actually used readpages, so this check was
never actually necessary]
