Subject: [PATCH] Remove two unused variables and two useless calls to kfree
Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2012 13:25:12 -0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1354980312-7184-1-git-send-email-peter.senna@gmail.com> (raw)
old_class_name, and new_class_name are never used. This patch remove the
declaration and calls to kfree.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@r1 forall@
type T; identifier i;
@@
* T *i = NULL;
... when != i
* kfree(i);
// </smpl>
