net/wireless/nl80211.c: Avoid call to genlmsg_cancel
genlmsg_cancel subtracts some constants from its second argument before calling nlmsg_cancel. nlmsg_cancel then calls nlmsg_trim on the same arguments. nlmsg_trim tests for NULL before doing any computation, but a NULL second argument to genlmsg_cancel is no longer NULL due to the initial subtraction. Nothing else happens in this execution, so the call to genlmsg_cancel is simply unnecessary in this case. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression data; @@ if (data == NULL) { ... * genlmsg_cancel(..., data); ... return ...; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: John W.
