From a14286f485b2a357a83b834fd30d54619d0f444d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Elfring Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:10:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: sctp: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree" The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Acked-By: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S.
