Cover letter [PATCH 0/3] block: Deletion of checks before three function calls

From: Markus Elfring <[email protected]>
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2015 14:50:06 +0100

Functions which release a system resource are occasionally documented in the way that they tolerate the passing of a null pointer for example. I do not see a need because of this fact that a function caller repeats a corresponding check.

Markus Elfring (3):
cciss: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "put_disk"
z2ram: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kfree" Deletion of checks before the function call "iounmap"
