From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Use kmemdup when some other buffer is immediately copied into the allocated region. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression from,to,size,flag; statement S; @@ - to = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(size,flag); + to = kmemdup(from,size,flag); if (to==NULL || ...)
