From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2017 16:26:44 +0200 The kfree() function was called in up to two cases by the cifs_lookup() function during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer. * Adjust a jump target according to the Linux coding style convention. * Delete an initialisation for the variable "full_path" at the beginning which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
