nft_trace_notify() is called only from __nft_trace_packet(), which assigns its parameter 'chain' to info->chain. __nft_trace_packet() in turn later dereferences 'chain' unconditionally, which indicates that it's never NULL. Same does nft_do_chain(), the only user of the tracing infrastructure. Hence it is safe to assume the check removed here is not needed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
