From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Use kstrdup when the goal of an allocation is copy a string into the allocated region. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression from,to; expression flag,E1,E2; statement S; @@ - to = kmalloc(strlen(from) + 1,flag); + to = kstrdup(from, flag); ... when != \(from = E1 \| to = E1 \) if (to==NULL || ...) S ... when != \(from = E2 \| to = E2 \) - strcpy(to, from); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/md/dm-crypt.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c b/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c --- a/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm-crypt.c @@ -1168,12 +1168,11 @@ static int crypt_ctr(struct dm_target *t if (ivmode && cc->iv_gen_ops) { if (ivopts) *(ivopts - 1) = ':'; - cc->iv_mode = kmalloc(strlen(ivmode) + 1, GFP_KERNEL); + cc->iv_mode = kstrdup(ivmode, GFP_KERNEL); if (!cc->iv_mode) { ti->error = "Error kmallocing iv_mode string"; goto bad_ivmode_string; } - strcpy(cc->iv_mode, ivmode); } else cc->iv_mode = NULL; -- 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
