From e5b811e38af7540b385c898d83eb0198310343fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2015 23:36:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] drop bogus check in file_open_root() For one thing, LOOKUP_DIRECTORY will be dealt with in do_last(). For another, name can be an empty string, but not NULL - no callers pass that and it would oops immediately if they would.
