From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Use kstrdup when the goal of an allocation is copy a string into the allocated region. Additionally drop the now unused variable len. 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 || ...)
