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/bluetooth/btmrvl_sdio.c | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/bluetooth/btmrvl_sdio.c b/drivers/bluetooth/btmrvl_sdio.c --- a/drivers/bluetooth/btmrvl_sdio.c +++ b/drivers/bluetooth/btmrvl_sdio.c @@ -216,7 +216,7 @@ static int btmrvl_sdio_download_helper(s tmphlprbufsz = ALIGN_SZ(BTM_UPLD_SIZE, BTSDIO_DMA_ALIGN); - tmphlprbuf = kmalloc(tmphlprbufsz, GFP_KERNEL); + tmphlprbuf = kzalloc(tmphlprbufsz, GFP_KERNEL); if (!tmphlprbuf) { BT_ERR("Unable to allocate buffer for helper."
