Maybe consider reorganizing relevant code to avoid passing NULL values. mempool_destroy()/kmem_cache_destroy() is OK to accept NULL pointer. But the logic is more readable that we do NULL check when cleanup due to error. cleanup_sdb: for (i = 0; i < SG_MEMPOOL_NR; i++) { struct sg_pool *sgp = sg_pools + i; if (sgp->pool) mempool_destroy(sgp->pool); if (sgp->slab) kmem_cache_destroy(sgp->slab); } I'll keep the NULL check if no objection.
