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/mtd/nand/s3c2410.c | 7 ++----- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/mtd/nand/s3c2410.c b/drivers/mtd/nand/s3c2410.c --- a/drivers/mtd/nand/s3c2410.c +++ b/drivers/mtd/nand/s3c2410.c @@ -929,14 +929,13 @@ static int s3c24xx_nand_probe(struct pla pr_debug("s3c2410_nand_probe(%p)\n", pdev); - info = kmalloc(sizeof(*info), GFP_KERNEL); + info = kzalloc(sizeof(*info), GFP_KERNEL); if (info == NULL) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "no memory for flash info\n"); err = -ENOMEM; goto exit_error; } - memset(info, 0, sizeof(*info)); platform_set_drvdata(pdev, info); spin_lock_init(&info->controller.lock); @@ -994,15 +993,13 @@ static int s3c24xx_nand_probe(struct pla /* allocate our information */ size = nr_sets * sizeof(*info->mtds); - info->mtds = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); + info->mtds = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); if (info->mtds == NULL) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to allocate mtd storage\n"); err = -ENOMEM; goto exit_error; } - memset(info->mtds, 0, size); - /* initialise all possible chips */ nmtd = info->mtds; -- 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
