[PATCH v2 5/6] net-PPP: Delete an unnecessary assignment in mppe_alloc()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

The data structure element "arc4" was assigned a null pointer by the
mppe_alloc() function if a previous function call "crypto_alloc_blkcipher"
failed. This assignment became unnecessary with previous source
code adjustments.

Let us delete it from the affected implementation because the element "arc4"
will not be accessible outside the function after the detected
allocation failure.
