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/video/matrox/matroxfb_base.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_base.c b/drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_base.c --- a/drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_base.c +++ b/drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_base.c @@ -2040,10 +2040,9 @@ static int matroxfb_probe(struct pci_dev return -1; } - minfo = kmalloc(sizeof(*minfo), GFP_KERNEL); + minfo = kzalloc(sizeof(*minfo), GFP_KERNEL); if (!minfo) return -1; - memset(minfo, 0, sizeof(*minfo)); minfo->pcidev = pdev; minfo->dead = 0; -- 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
