Convert a sequence of kmalloc and memcpy to use kmemdup. The semantic patch that performs this transformation is: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression a,flag,len; expression arg,e1,e2; statement S; @@ a = - \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(len,flag) + kmemdup(arg,len,flag) <... when != a if (a == NULL || ...)
