I suggest to reconsider the distribution of recipients also for this patch according to the fields “Cc” and “To”. Do you find a previous update suggestion like “SCSI-aic7...: Delete unnecessary checks before the function call "kfree"” interesting? https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/54D3E057.9030600@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/540593/ https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/5/650 Regards, Markus
