From de7017625e8b642506b7e56574353cc9695ca357 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Elfring Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2015 13:17:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netxen: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree" The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: David S.
