Subject: proc: skip branch in /proc/*/* lookup
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=26b95137d673d8d6a9a124d433d968e18298f4ed;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

proc: skip branch in /proc/*/* lookup

Code is structured like this:

	for ( ... p < last; p++) {
		if (memcmp == 0)
			break;
	}
	if (p >= last)
		ERROR
	OK

gcc doesn't see that if if lookup succeeds than post loop branch will
never be taken and skip it.
