But the current code is null checking the address of the pointer that holds the value returned by genlmsg_put. Fix this by properly null checking the value returned by function genlmsg_put in order to avoid a pontential null pointer dereference.

It seems that the intention of the code is to null check the value
returned by function genlmsg_put. But the current code is null
checking the address of the pointer that holds the value returned
by genlmsg_put.

Fix this by properly null checking the value returned by function
genlmsg_put in order to avoid a pontential null pointer dereference.

openvswitch: Using kfree_rcu() to simplify the code 2017-11-14T13:02:08+00:00 Wei Yongjun weiyongjun1@huawei.com 2017-11-14T06:27:12+00:00 6dc14dc40a1d1dafd8491c349b5f3e15aabc4edb The callback function of call_rcu() just calls a kfree(), so we can use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu() + callback function.
