scripts/checkpatch.pl doesn't like that: WARNING: Reusing the krealloc arg is almost always a bug #1411: FILE: drivers/block/nd/namespace_devs.c:1411: + nsblk->res = krealloc(nsblk->res, The reasoning (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/14/558) is: "If krealloc() returns NULL, it *doesn't* free the original. So any code of the form 'foo = krealloc(foo, …);' is almost certainly a bug." --- Robert Elliott, HP Server Storage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
