[PATCH] smb: client: scope end_of_dacl to CIFS_DEBUG2 use in parse_dacl
From: Michael Bommarito
Date: Tue Apr 21 2026 - 19:41:40 EST
After validate_dacl() was factored out in commit 149822e5541c, the
local end_of_dacl in parse_dacl() is only read by the dump_ace()
call under #ifdef CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG2. With CIFS_DEBUG2 off the
variable is assigned but never used, which gcc -W=1 flags as
-Wunused-but-set-variable.
Remove the local and compute the end-of-dacl pointer inline at the
single call site inside the existing CIFS_DEBUG2 guard. No
functional change: when CIFS_DEBUG2 is enabled the argument value
is identical to what the removed local carried; when CIFS_DEBUG2
is disabled the code was already dead.
