Subject: [PATCH] tipc: Improve exception handling in tipc_bcast_init() From: Markus Elfring <redacted> Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2023 12:20:06 +0100 The kfree() function was called in two cases by the tipc_bcast_init() function during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
kfree() validates the pointer before doing actual memory free. Your patch is not necessary.
