Subject: [PATCH 13/14] lib: Eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:26:47 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0806241026250.26777@ask.diku.dk> (raw)
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>
As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.
