- remove superflous forward prototype - remove whitespace before function name - update header comment - remove from_initialization parametes. It was always 1, but should always be 0 because all callers can sleep - use kzalloc - remove variable 'got', it was always 0 Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Index: scsi-misc-2.6/drivers/scsi/st.c =================================================================== --- scsi-misc-2.6.orig/drivers/scsi/st.c 2006-01-30 19:14:29.000000000 +0100 +++ scsi-misc-2.6/drivers/scsi/st.c 2006-01-30 19:15:13.000000000 +0100 @@ -180,7 +180,6 @@ static int modes_defined; -static struct st_buffer *new_tape_buffer(int, int, int); static int enlarge_buffer(struct st_buffer *, int, int); static void normalize_buffer(struct st_buffer *); static int append_to_buffer(const char __user *, struct st_buffer *, int); @@ -3574,35 +3573,27 @@ -/* Try to allocate a new tape buffer.
