Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 22:59:56 +0100 (CET) From: Jesper Juhl <jj@...osbits.net> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org cc: "John W. Linville" <linville@...driver.com>, Johannes Berg <johannes@...solutions.net>, "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, linux-wireless@...r.kernel.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Remove redundant checks for NULL before calls to crypto_free_cipher() Hello, crypto_free_cipher() is a wrapper around crypto_free_tfm() which is a wrapper around crypto_destroy_tfm() and the latter can handle being passed a NULL pointer, so checking for NULL in the ieee80211_aes_key_free()/ieee80211_aes_cmac_key_free() wrappers around crypto_free_cipher() is pointless and just increase object code size needlesly and makes us execute extra test/branch instructions that we don't need. Btw; don't we have to many wrappers around wrappers ad nauseam here? Anyway, this patch removes the redundant conditionals.
