This patch moves data allocated using kzalloc to managed data allocated using devm_kzalloc and cleans now unnecessary kfrees in probe and remove functions. The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used for making the change: @platform@ identifier p, probefn, removefn; @@ struct platform_driver p = { .probe = probefn, .remove = removefn, }; @prb@ identifier platform.probefn, pdev; expression e, e1, e2; @@ probefn(struct platform_device *pdev, ...) { <+... - e = kzalloc(e1, e2) + e = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, e1, e2) ... ?-kfree(e); ...+> } @rem depends on prb@ identifier platform.removefn; expression e; @@ removefn(...) { <... - kfree(e); ...> } Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi <himangi774@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@xxxxxxx> --- Can I make the code simpler by changing the code: poll_dev = input_allocate_polled_device(); if (!poll_dev) { error = -ENOMEM; goto failed; } to have only return -ENOMEM as there is no error message for failure of kzalloc and the call to input_free_polled_device does nothing when poll_dev is null. drivers/input/keyboard/jornada680_kbd.c | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/input/keyboard/jornada680_kbd.c b/drivers/input/keyboard/jornada680_kbd.c index 69b1f00..02c8f5b 100644 --- a/drivers/input/keyboard/jornada680_kbd.c +++ b/drivers/input/keyboard/jornada680_kbd.c @@ -185,7 +185,8 @@ static int jornada680kbd_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) struct input_dev *input_dev; int i, error; - jornadakbd = kzalloc(sizeof(struct jornadakbd), GFP_KERNEL); + jornadakbd = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(struct jornadakbd), + GFP_KERNEL); if (!jornadakbd) return -ENOMEM; @@ -233,7 +234,6 @@ static int jornada680kbd_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) printk(KERN_ERR "Jornadakbd: failed to register driver, error: %d\n", error); input_free_polled_device(poll_dev); - kfree(jornadakbd); return error; } @@ -244,7 +244,6 @@ static int jornada680kbd_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) input_unregister_polled_device(jornadakbd->poll_dev); input_free_polled_device(jornadakbd->poll_dev); - kfree(jornadakbd); return 0; } -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
