From: Markus Elfring <redacted> Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 22:22:23 +0100 The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring <redacted> --- drivers/net/ppp/ppp_mppe.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
