How many more of those 'comparing pointer to 0' patches do you have?
Right now we already merged the following with similar trivial pattern:

- ebda107e5f222a086c83ddf6d1ab1da97dd15810
- a9c80b03e586fd3819089fbd33c38fb65ad5e00c
- 04ea63e34a2ee85cfd38578b3fc97b2d4c9dd573

Given they don't really 'fix' anything, I would like to reduce such
patch cleanup churn on the bpf tree. Please _consolidate_ all other
such occurrences into a _single_ patch for BPF selftests, and resubmit.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

TLDR:
1. Now all this kind of warning in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/
were reported and discussed except this one.
2. We might not do scanning and check reports on
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/ in the future, because some
contributors want the progs to stay as close as possible to the way they
were written.

Details:

We have checked the recent linux master (commit:
16fc44d6387e260f4932e9248b985837324705d8), and the related reports and
their current status is shown as follows:

./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/fentry_test.c:76:15-16: WARNING

please stop such scans in selftests/bpf.
I don't see any value in such patches.
