Kfree can cope with a null argument, so drop null tests. The semantic patch that identifies this issue is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression ptr; @@ - if (ptr != NULL) kfree(ptr); // </smpl> The first part of the patch introduces new labels to avoid unnecessary calls to kfree. In addition, lprof->lp_md is always null in the cleanup code at the end of the function, so that kfree is just dropped.
