From a120586873d3d64de93bd6d593d237e131994e58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 20:32:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Allow NULL pointers in percpu_free The patch (as824b) makes percpu_free() ignore NULL arguments, as one would expect for a deallocation routine. (Note that free_percpu is #defined as percpu_free in include/linux/percpu.h.) A few callers are updated to remove now-unneeded tests for NULL. A few other callers already seem to assume that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is okay! The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().
