Subject: [PATCH] Staging: irda: Do not check for NOT NULL before kfree()
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2017 00:41:30 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1513624290-2965-1-git-send-email-shreeya.patel23498@gmail.com> (raw)
Do not check for NOT NULL before calling kfree because if the
pointer is NULL, no action occurs.
Done using the following semantic patch by coccinelle.
@@
expression ptr;
@@
- if (ptr != NULL) {
kfree(ptr);
ptr = NULL;
- }
The semantic patch has the effect of adding an assignment
of ptr to NULL in the case where ptr is NULL already.
