From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> kasprintf combines kmalloc and sprintf, and takes care of the size calculation itself. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression a,flag; expression list args; statement S; @@ a = - \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(...,flag) + kasprintf(flag,args) <... when != a if (a == NULL || ...) S ...> - sprintf(a,args); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c b/drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c --- a/drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c +++ b/drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c @@ -275,12 +275,10 @@ static struct block2mtd_dev *add_device( /* Setup the MTD structure */ /* make the name contain the block device in */ - name = kmalloc(sizeof("block2mtd: ") + strlen(devname) + 1, - GFP_KERNEL); + name = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "block2mtd: %s", devname); if (!name) goto devinit_err; - sprintf(name, "block2mtd: %s", devname); dev->mtd.name = name; dev->mtd.size = dev->blkdev->bd_inode->i_size & PAGE_MASK; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
