[PATCH] remove redundant NULL checks before kfree() in sound/ and avoid casting pointers about to be kfree()'ed

2005-03-19 Thread Jesper Juhl
Checking a pointer for NULL before calling kfree() on it is redundant, kfree() deals with NULL pointers just fine. This patch removes such checks from sound/ This patch also makes another, but closely related, change. It avoids casting pointers about to be kfree()'ed like this for example :

[PATCH] rename FPU_*verify_area to FPU_*access_ok

Since verify_area is going the way of the Dodo soon it seems resonable to no longer refer to it in wrapper functions/macros. FPU_verify_area and FPU_code_verify_area have already been converted to call access_ok so now seems a good time to rename them. This patch makes no functional changes at
