This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: KVM: Remove redundant NULL checks before kfree() to the 3.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mips-kvm-remove-redundant-null-checks-before-kfree.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From c6c0a6637f9da54f9472144d44f71cf847f92e20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 10:16:44 +0100 Subject: MIPS: KVM: Remove redundant NULL checks before kfree() From: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit c6c0a6637f9da54f9472144d44f71cf847f92e20 upstream. The kfree() function already NULL checks the parameter so remove the redundant NULL checks before kfree() calls in arch/mips/kvm/.
