Subject: [PATCH 2/2] staging: wilc1000: One function call less in mac_ioctl() after error detection
Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2015 16:37:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <558EB524.1050609@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <558EB32E.6090003@users.sourceforge.net>
From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2015 16:00:59 +0200
The kfree() function was called in two cases by the mac_ioctl() function
during error handling even if the passed variable did not contain a pointer
for a valid data item.
* This implementation detail could be improved by the introduction
of another jump label.
* Drop an unnecessary initialisation for the variable "buff" then.
