drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c:3379:36-43: WARNING: kzalloc should be used for pwep, instead of kmalloc/memset Use kzalloc rather than kmalloc followed by memset with 0 This considers some simple cases that are common and easy to validate Note in particular that there are no ...s in the rule, so all of the matched code has to be contiguous Generated by: scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocci Fixes: f1ac2c75e0c6 ("staging: rtl8188eu: Fix private WEXT IOCTL calls") CC: Ishraq Ibne Ashraf <ishraq.i.ashraf@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@xxxxxxxxx> --- ioctl_linux.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c +++ b/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c @@ -3376,14 +3376,13 @@ static int rtw_set_encryption_pvt(struct wep_key_len = wep_key_len <= 5 ? 5 : 13; wep_total_len = wep_key_len + offsetof(struct ndis_802_11_wep, KeyMaterial); - pwep = (struct ndis_802_11_wep *)kmalloc(wep_total_len, GFP_KERNEL); + pwep = kzalloc(wep_total_len, GFP_KERNEL); if (!pwep) { DBG_88E(" r871x_set_encryption: pwep allocate fail !!!\n"); ret = -ENOMEM; goto err_free_param; } - memset(pwep, 0, wep_total_len); pwep->KeyLength = wep_key_len; pwep->Length = wep_total_len; } _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
