BTW if we stretch this argument a little bit more, we should also kill the ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR() check from kfree() and make it callers responsibility to perform the checking only if applicable ... we are currently doing a lot of pointless checking in cases where caller would be able to guarantee that the pointer is going to be non-NULL. -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
