Hi,
Was just wondering if the _var_ in kfree(_var_) could be set to NULL after its
freed. It may solve
the problem of accessing some freed memory as the kernel will crash since _var_
was set to NULL.
Does this make sense? If yes, then how about renaming kfree to something else
and providing a
kfree macro that would do the following:
#define kfree(x) do { \
new_kfree(x); \
x = NULL; \
} while(0)
There might be other better ways too.
Regards,
Amit
