[PATCH v2] ubifs: remove unnecessary check in ubifs_log_start_commit

From: Liu Song
Date: Thu Aug 23 2018 - 21:18:19 EST


In ubifs_log_start_commit, the value of c->lhead_offs is zero or set
to zero by code bellow.

/* Switch to the next log LEB */
if (c->lhead_offs) {
c->lhead_lnum = ubifs_next_log_lnum(c, c->lhead_lnum);
ubifs_assert(c->lhead_lnum != c->ltail_lnum);
c->lhead_offs = 0;
}

The value of 'len' can not exceed 'max_len' which assigned value by
code bellow.

max_len = UBIFS_CS_NODE_SZ + c->jhead_cnt * UBIFS_REF_NODE_SZ;

The value of c->lhead_offs changed by code bellow and cannot exceed
'max_len'.

c->lhead_offs += len;
if (c->lhead_offs == c->leb_size) {
c->lhead_lnum = ubifs_next_log_lnum(c, c->lhead_lnum);
c->lhead_offs = 0;
}

Usually, the size of PEB is between 64KB and 256KB. So the value of
c->lhead_offs is far less than c->leb_size. The check
'if (c->lhead_offs == c->leb_size)' could never to be true.
