From 304c4c841a31c780a45d65e389b07706babf5d36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 02:05:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] jbd: avoid kfree(NULL) There are a couple of places where JBD has to check to see whether an unneeded memory allocation was performed. Usually it _was_ needed, so we end up calling kfree(NULL). We can micro-optimise that by checking the pointer before calling kfree(). Thanks to Steven Rostedt for identifying this.
