From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2015 12:50:10 +0100 This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. A sanity check would be performed by the iscsi_set_default_param() function even if it is known already that 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. * Let us return directly if a call of the function "kzalloc" failed.
