From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 24 Jul 2016 21:15:23 +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. Improve this implementation detail by the introduction of another jump label.
