Bottomley; Sudarsana Kalluru; linux-scsi Cc: linux-kernel; kernel-janitors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Julia Lawall Subject: [PATCH 1/1] SCSI-bfa: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "vfree" From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 23:43:17 +0100 The vfree() function performs also input parameter validation. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
