Conditionally calling kfree()/vfree() can be replaced by a call to kvfree() which handles both kmalloced memory and vmalloced memory. Consequently removed an unnecessary comment. The Coccinelle semantic patch used to make the change is as follows: //<smpl> @@ expression a; @@ - if(...) { vfree(a); } - else { kfree(a); } + kvfree(a); @@ expression a; @@ - if(...) { kfree(a); } - else { vfree(a); } + kvfree(a); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Amitoj Kaur Chawla <amitoj1606@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_cmd.c | 6 +----- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_cmd.c b/drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_cmd.c index 97093ba..a156dd424 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_cmd.c +++ b/drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/atomisp_cmd.c @@ -117,11 +117,7 @@ void *atomisp_kernel_zalloc(size_t bytes, bool zero_mem) */ void atomisp_kernel_free(void *ptr) { - /* Verify if buffer was allocated by vmalloc() or kmalloc() */ - if (is_vmalloc_addr(ptr)) - vfree(ptr); - else - kfree(ptr); + kvfree(ptr); } /* -- 2.7.4
