At the very end of btrfs_rename_exchange(), in case an error happened, we are checking if 'new_inode' is NULL, but that is not needed since during a rename exchange, unlike regular renames, 'new_inode' can never be NULL, and if it were, we would have a crashed much earlier when we dereference it multiple times. So remove the check because it is not necessary and because it is causing static checkers to emit a warning. I probably introduced the check by copy-pasting similar code from btrfs_rename(), where 'new_inode' can be NULL, in commit 86e8aa0e772cab ("Btrfs: unpin logs if rename exchange operation fails").

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
