Remove goto statement where function simply return value without doing any cleanup action. Simplify the return using goto label to avoid unneeded 'if' condition check. Remove the unneeded and redundant check of variable on goto. Remove the assignment of NULL on local variable. Signed-off-by: Saurav Girepunje <redacted> --- ChangeLog V3: -Remove goto statement where function simply return value without doing any cleanup action. -Remove the assignment of NULL on local variable. -Replace the goto statement added after the memcpy on V2. with return 0 statement. ChangeLog V2: -Add goto out after the memcpy for no error case return with ret only. On V1 doing free, which was not required for no error case.
You still don't explain why you changed v1. You had freed resources on success path. That was not allowed because you introduced a change in the logic and a huge bug. Therefore, in v2, you are not merely changing something that "was not required". Instead you are changing something that is not permitted. Thanks, Fabio
