[PATCH 29/54] md/raid5: Return directly after a failed kcalloc() in alloc_thread_groups()

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

 



From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2016 08:54:40 +0200

The kfree() function was called in up to two cases
by the alloc_thread_groups() function during error handling
even if the passed variable contained a null pointer.

* Return directly after a call of the kcalloc() function failed
  at the beginning.

* Simplify a condition check for memory allocation failures.
