From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2015 20:22:41 +0100 The rbd_dev_destroy() function was called in two cases by the rbd_dev_probe_parent() function during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer. * This implementation detail could be improved by adjustments for jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention. * Drop an unnecessary initialisation for the variable "parent" then.
