From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2014 15:42:43 +0100 The sysctl_head_finish() function was called in an inefficient way by the implementation of the proc_sys_lookup() function in case of a lookup failure. The corresponding source code was improved by deletion of an unnecessary null pointer check and a few adjustments for jump labels.
