I don't mind calling kfree twice itself (because that function is not
so performance critical), but fl_free(NULL) is out because
if fl is NULL, kfree(fl->opt) is out.
So, what do you think of checking fl inside fl_free like this?
We can even make fl_free inline and check as following:
if (fl) {
kfree(fl->opt);
kfree(fl);
}
Based on patch from Jesper Juhl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
