Hello ,

I noticed on current git this warning in net/ipv4/inetpeer.c

Yeah, I have no idea why the gcc people thought that this was
something worth warning about. Especially since explicitly
checking for != NULL silences the warning again.


[IPV4]: Fix inetpeer gcc-4.2 warnings

CC net/ipv4/inetpeer.o
net/ipv4/inetpeer.c: In function 'unlink_from_pool':
net/ipv4/inetpeer.c:297: warning: the address of 'stack' will always evaluate as 'true'
net/ipv4/inetpeer.c:297: warning: the address of 'stack' will always evaluate as 'true'
net/ipv4/inetpeer.c: In function 'inet_getpeer':
net/ipv4/inetpeer.c:409: warning: the address of 'stack' will always evaluate as 'true'
net/ipv4/inetpeer.c:409: warning: the address of 'stack' will always evaluate as 'true'

"Fix" by checking for != NULL.
