[PATCH 5/5] selinux: drop unnecessary NULL check

From: Christian Göttsche
Date: Thu Feb 17 2022 - 09:22:09 EST


Commit e3489f8974e1 ("selinux: kill selinux_sb_get_mnt_opts()")
introduced a NULL check on the context after a successful call to
security_sid_to_context(). This is on the one hand redundant after
checking for success and on the other hand insufficient on an actual
NULL pointer, since the context is passed to seq_escape() leading to a
call of strlen() on it.
