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> --- drivers/parport/share.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/parport/share.c b/drivers/parport/share.c --- a/drivers/parport/share.c +++ b/drivers/parport/share.c @@ -282,14 +282,13 @@ struct parport *parport_register_port(un int device; char *name; - tmp = kmalloc(sizeof(struct parport), GFP_KERNEL); + tmp = kzalloc(sizeof(struct parport), GFP_KERNEL); if (!tmp) { printk(KERN_WARNING "parport: memory squeeze\n"); return NULL; } /* Init our structure */ - memset(tmp, 0, sizeof(struct parport)); tmp->base = base; tmp->irq = irq; tmp->dma = dma; -- 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
