From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Use kzalloc rather than the combination of kmalloc and memset. A simplified version of 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> --- net/caif/cfcnfg.c | 3 +-- net/caif/cfctrl.c | 3 +-- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/net/caif/cfcnfg.c b/net/caif/cfcnfg.c --- a/net/caif/cfcnfg.c +++ b/net/caif/cfcnfg.c @@ -65,12 +65,11 @@ struct cfcnfg *cfcnfg_create(void) struct cfcnfg *this; struct cfctrl_rsp *resp; /* Initiate this layer */ - this = kmalloc(sizeof(struct cfcnfg), GFP_ATOMIC); + this = kzalloc(sizeof(struct cfcnfg), GFP_ATOMIC); if (!this) { pr_warning("CAIF: %s(): Out of memory\n", __func__); return NULL; } - memset(this, 0, sizeof(struct cfcnfg)); this->mux = cfmuxl_create(); if (!this->mux) goto out_of_mem; diff -u -p a/net/caif/cfctrl.c b/net/caif/cfctrl.c --- a/net/caif/cfctrl.c +++ b/net/caif/cfctrl.c @@ -284,12 +284,11 @@ int cfctrl_linkup_request(struct cflayer __func__, param->linktype); return -EINVAL; } - req = kmalloc(sizeof(*req), GFP_KERNEL); + req = kzalloc(sizeof(*req), GFP_KERNEL); if (!req) { pr_warning("CAIF: %s(): Out of memory\n", __func__); return -ENOMEM; } - memset(req, 0, sizeof(*req)); req->client_layer = user_layer; req->cmd = CFCTRL_CMD_LINK_SETUP; req->param = *param; -- 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
