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/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c b/drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c --- a/drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c +++ b/drivers/net/vmxnet3/vmxnet3_drv.c @@ -1369,13 +1369,12 @@ vmxnet3_rq_create(struct vmxnet3_rx_queu sz = sizeof(struct vmxnet3_rx_buf_info) * (rq->rx_ring[0].size + rq->rx_ring[1].size); - bi = kmalloc(sz, GFP_KERNEL); + bi = kzalloc(sz, GFP_KERNEL); if (!bi) { printk(KERN_ERR "%s: failed to allocate rx bufinfo\n", adapter->netdev->name); goto err; } - memset(bi, 0, sz); rq->buf_info[0] = bi; rq->buf_info[1] = bi + rq->rx_ring[0].size; -- 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
