[PATCH 2/2] staging: wilc1000: One function call less in mac_ioctl() after error detection

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

 



From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2015 16:00:59 +0200

The kfree() function was called in two cases by the mac_ioctl() function
during error handling even if the passed variable did not contain a pointer
for a valid data item.

* This implementation detail could be improved by the introduction
  of another jump label.

* Drop an unnecessary initialisation for the variable "buff" then.
