X-Git-Tag: v4.2-rc1~88^2~937
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e6b9a3b225b804a2683bc173c1261a9ce4a561a0;p=linux.git

Staging: lustre: llite: file: remove unneeded null test before free

Kfree can cope with a null argument, so drop null tests.

The semantic patch that finds this issue is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@ expression ptr; @@

- if (ptr != NULL)
  kfree(ptr);
// </smpl>

In the first case, llss can never be null at the point of the kfree anyway.

In the second set of changes, the gotos are either eliminated, when no
freeing is needed (hss failure case), or rewritten so that there is no call
to free on data that has not yet been allocated (free_hss goto case).
There is no goto at which attr is not null, so the out label is simply
dropped.
