Is there any policy about useless variable intializations, such as: struct foo *x = NULL; ... x = kmalloc(...); where the original value of x is never used? Another example is (fs/nfs/client.c): struct rpc_clnt *clnt = NULL; ... clnt = rpc_create(&args); This could actually be slightly misleading, because rpc_create returns either a valid pointer or a value created with ERR_PTR, never NULL, so NULL is not really in the set of reasonable values for clnt. julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
