Subject: kfree(0) - ok?
Hi all,
I have a quick question.
I'm trying to resurrect a patch from the Linux-tiny patch suite,
to do accounting of kmalloc memory allocations. In testing it
with Linux 2.6.22, I've found a large number of kfrees of
NULL pointers.
Is this considered OK? Or should I examine the offenders
to see if something is coded badly?
Thanks,
-- Tim
