Subject: slab: simplify init_kmem_cache_nodes() error handling
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9d4e6ab865c48c70e684b176d3ee1574d092626f;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

slab: simplify init_kmem_cache_nodes() error handling

We don't need to call free_kmem_cache_nodes() immediately when failing
to allocate a kmem_cache_node, because when we return 0,
do_kmem_cache_create() calls __kmem_cache_release() which also performs
free_kmem_cache_nodes().
