[PATCH] KVM-async_pf: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "kmem_cache_destroy"
From: Markus Elfring
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:40:36 +0100
The kmem_cache_destroy() function tests whether its argument is NULL
and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

I chose a smaller change at this place. I am not familiar enough with other called functions there at the moment. Are the remaining goto statements also update candidates?

[PATCH 2/2] vfio: powerpc/spapr: One function call less in tce_iommu_attach_group() after kzalloc() failure
From: Markus Elfring
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2015 17:58:42 +0200
The kfree() function was called even if a previous memory allocation
try failed.
This implementation detail could be improved by the introduction
of another jump label.
