From 8c333ac2e4946a673b54f974d75397c947569c29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Yanfei Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 17:03:31 -0800 Subject: kexec: avoid freeing NULL pointer in image_crash_alloc() Though there is no error if we free a NULL pointer, I think we could avoid this behaviour. Change the code a little in kimage_crash_alloc() could avoid this kind of unnecessary free. Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanfei Cc: "Eric W.
