From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.7-rc1 commit a67d74a4b163878a3c0537033ed1b20db92ebfc5 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/IBWQ24 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i... -------------------------------- Allow for the declaration of variables that trigger kvfree() when they go out of scope. The check for NULL and call to kvfree() can be elided by the compiler in most cases, otherwise without the NULL check an unnecessary call to kvfree() may be emitted. Peter proposed a comment for this detail [1]. Link: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20230816103102.GF980931@hirez.programming.kicks-ass...
