I find it clearer to provide such a source code adjustment by a separate update step. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?id=d6f9469a03d832dcd17041ed67774ffb5f3e73b3#n138 Please move it into another patch. … > +++ b/fs/exfat/super.c … > @@ -686,7 +685,12 @@ static int exfat_get_tree(struct fs_context *fc) > > static void exfat_free(struct fs_context *fc) > { > - kfree(fc->s_fs_info); > + struct exfat_sb_info *sbi = fc->s_fs_info; > + > + if (sbi) { > + exfat_free_iocharset(sbi); > + kfree(sbi); > + } > } … Can it be helpful to annotate the added check according to branch prediction? Are valid pointers likely at this place? Regards, Markus
