There are common patterns where a temporary buffer is allocated and freed at the exit, and those can be simplified with the recent cleanup mechanism via __free(kfree). A caveat is that some allocations are memdup_user() and they return an error pointer instead of NULL. Those need special cares and the value has to be cleared with no_free_ptr() at the allocation error path. Other than that, the conversions are straightforward. No functional changes, only code refactoring. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240222111509.28390-4-tiwai@suse.de
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.
