From 7d37d0c1591b95ec4e663f7c00eccd5938797a99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net> 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.
