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/base/module.c | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/base/module.c b/drivers/base/module.c --- a/drivers/base/module.c +++ b/drivers/base/module.c @@ -14,12 +14,10 @@ static char *make_driver_name(struct dev { char *driver_name; - driver_name = kmalloc(strlen(drv->name) + strlen(drv->bus->name) + 2, - GFP_KERNEL); + driver_name = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "%s:%s", drv->bus->name, drv->name); if (!driver_name) return NULL; - sprintf(driver_name, "%s:%s", drv->bus->name, drv->name); return driver_name; } -- 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
