From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2015 11:36:02 +0100 Omit the unnecessary setting to a null pointer for the variable "param" at the beginning of the function "iscsi_set_default_param" because it can be directly initialized with the return value from the function "kzalloc".
