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> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/usb/serial/io_edgeport.c | 3 +-- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/serial/io_edgeport.c b/drivers/usb/serial/io_edgeport.c index 3ef8df0..76e6fb3 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/serial/io_edgeport.c +++ b/drivers/usb/serial/io_edgeport.c @@ -3020,7 +3020,7 @@ static int edge_startup(struct usb_serial *serial) /* set up our port private structures */ for (i = 0; i < serial->num_ports; ++i) { - edge_port = kmalloc(sizeof(struct edgeport_port), GFP_KERNEL); + edge_port = kzalloc(sizeof(struct edgeport_port), GFP_KERNEL); if (edge_port == NULL) { dev_err(&serial->dev->dev, "%s - Out of memory\n", __func__); @@ -3033,7 +3033,6 @@ static int edge_startup(struct usb_serial *serial) kfree(edge_serial); return -ENOMEM; } - memset(edge_port, 0, sizeof(struct edgeport_port)); spin_lock_init(&edge_port->ep_lock); edge_port->port = serial->port[i]; usb_set_serial_port_data(serial->port[i], edge_port); -- 1.7.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
