From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Use kzalloc rather than the combination of kmalloc and memset. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression x,size,flags; statement S; @@ -x = kmalloc(size,flags); +x = kzalloc(size,flags); if (x == NULL) S -memset(x, 0, size); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- arch/arm/mach-davinci/dma.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/arch/arm/mach-davinci/dma.c b/arch/arm/mach-davinci/dma.c --- a/arch/arm/mach-davinci/dma.c +++ b/arch/arm/mach-davinci/dma.c @@ -1419,12 +1419,11 @@ static int __init edma_probe(struct plat goto fail1; } - edma_cc[j] = kmalloc(sizeof(struct edma), GFP_KERNEL); + edma_cc[j] = kzalloc(sizeof(struct edma), GFP_KERNEL); if (!edma_cc[j]) { status = -ENOMEM; goto fail1; } - memset(edma_cc[j], 0, sizeof(struct edma)); edma_cc[j]->num_channels = min_t(unsigned, info[j].n_channel, EDMA_MAX_DMACH); -- 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
