Subject: [PATCH 4/6] staging: rtl8188eu: core: Remove NULL test before vfree
Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 01:14:03 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160228194403.GA1748@Karyakshetra> (raw)
vfree frees the virtually continuous memory area starting at addr.
If addr is NULL, no operation is performed. So NULL test is not needed
before vfree.
This was done using Coccinelle:
@@
expression x;
@@
-if (x != NULL)
vfree(x);
@@
expression x;
@@
-if (x != NULL) {
vfree(x);
x = NULL;
-}
