[RFC][PATCH 5/5] mm/zsmalloc: allow NULL `pool' pointer in zs_destroy_pool()

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Tue Jun 09 2015 - 08:06:44 EST


zpool_destroy_pool() does not tolerate a NULL zs_pool pointer
argument and performs a NULL-pointer dereference. Although
there are quite a few zs_destroy_pool() users, still update
it to be coherent with the corresponding destroy() functions
of the remainig pool-allocators (slab, mempool, etc.), which
now allow NULL pool-pointers.

For consistency, tweak zpool_destroy_pool() and NULL-check the
pointer there.

Proposed by Andrew Morton.
