Hm, I'm not sure what your intention was here, but this patch is wrong
in several ways. It references 'cache' when it's NULL. It removes the
allocation of 'entry' altogether, and then references an uninitialized
variable. Which, surely, gcc would have warned about.
I mean, in the original code, you could replace
if (entry == NULL)
goto out;
with
if (entry != NULL) {
...
}
..and remove the out label. Not sure if that would make things massively
more readable.
