Redundant cleanup calls were introduced when transitioning from the old error/success handling via setjmp/longjmp -- the longjmp ensured the cleanup() call only happened once but replacing the success_file()/fail_file() calls with cleanup() meant that multiple cleanup() calls can happen as we return from function calls. In do_file(), looking just before and after the "goto out" jumps we can see that multiple cleanups() are being performed. We remove cleanup() calls from the nested functions because it makes the code easier to review -- the resources being cleaned up are generally allocated and initialized in the callers so freeing them there makes more sense. Other redundant cleanup() calls: mmap_file() is only called from do_file() and, if mmap_file() fails, then we goto out and do cleanup() there too. write_file() is only called from do_file() and do_file() calls cleanup() unconditionally after returning from write_file() therefore the cleanup() calls in write_file() are not necessary. find_secsym_ndx(), called from do_func()'s for-loop, when we are cleaning up here it's obvious that we break out of the loop and do another cleanup(). __has_rel_mcount() is called from two parts of do_func() and calls cleanup(). In theory we move them into do_func(), however these in turn prove redundant so another simplification step removes them as well.

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.
