NAK. The above check is necessary.

pdbg_init->compress_buff may be NULL when Zlib is unavailable or when
pdbg_init->compress_buff allocation fails, in which case we ignore error
and continue without compression. Check is necessary before calling
vfree().

The above change is wrong. NAK.

If the call to link->tid_map = kvcalloc() above fails, it still
goes ahead and calls kvfree(link->tid_map) even for failed cases, which is
wrong. Check is necessary before calling kvfree().

Thanks taking a look! The point is that vfree() kfree() etc. all can be
fed NULL in which case they are a nop. E.g.:

/**
 * vfree - Release memory allocated by vmalloc()
 * @addr:  Memory base address
 *
 * Free the virtually continuous memory area starting at @addr, as obtained
 * from one of the vmalloc() family of APIs.  This will usually also free the
 * physical memory underlying the virtual allocation, but that memory is
 * reference counted, so it will not be freed until the last user goes away.
 *
   vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
>* If @addr is NULL, no operation is performed. <=
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 *
 * Context:
 * May sleep if called *not* from interrupt context.
 * Must not be called in NMI context (strictly speaking, it could be
 * if we have CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, but making the calling
 * conventions for vfree() arch-depenedent would be a really bad idea).
 */

I don't think there is any advanced static analysis going on here if
that's what you assumed.

Yang, please respin, and explain in the patch message why removing
those conditions is safe.
