NULL or ZERO_SIZE_PTR will be returned for zero sized memory request, and derefencing them will lead to a segfault so it is unnecessory to call vzalloc for zero sized memory request and not call functions which maybe derefence the NULL allocated memory this also fixes a possible memory leak if phy_ethtool_get_stats returns error, memory should be freed before exit Signed-off-by: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com> Reviewed-by: Wang Li <wangli39@baidu.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
