[PATCH 1/1] mm/zswap: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "free_percpu"

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2014 18:33:33 +0100

The free_percpu() 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.

[PATCH] zsmalloc: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "iput"

there is no issue; the change is just cosmetic.

alloc_anon_inode() returns ERR_PTR, so I'd probably rather
change iput() to do IS_ERR_OR_NULL instead of !NULL.

	inode = alloc_anon_inode();
	if (IS_ERR(inode)) {
		inode = NULL;
		^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	}
	...
	iput(inode);

this NULL assignment on error path is a bit fragile.

IOW, something like this
