A few update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.
Markus Elfring (3):
Return directly after a failed kzalloc()
Improve a size determination
One function call less after error detection

1. Return directly after a call of the function “kzalloc” failed
at the beginning.
2. Delete the label “out” which became unnecessary with this refactoring.

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

The kfree() function was called in one case by the
td_alloc_init_desc() function during error handling
even if the passed data structure member contained a null pointer.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
Thus use another label.

Mostly, yes.

Some scripts for the semantic patch language (Coccinelle software) can help
to point places out for desirable source code transformations.

It is a pity that you view the presented update steps in this direction.

You might occasionally find adjustments from my patch selection more worthwhile.

Markus
