Use kcalloc or 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,y,flags; statement S; type T; @@ x = - kmalloc + kcalloc ( - y * sizeof(T), + y, sizeof(T), flags); if (x == NULL) S -memset(x, 0, y * sizeof(T)); @@ 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: Shan Wei <shanwei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c | 6 ++---- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c b/drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c index df5959f..43776e6 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c @@ -1056,13 +1056,12 @@ static int mwl8k_rxq_init(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, int index) } memset(rxq->rxd, 0, size); - rxq->buf = kmalloc(MWL8K_RX_DESCS * sizeof(*rxq->buf), GFP_KERNEL); + rxq->buf = kzalloc(MWL8K_RX_DESCS * sizeof(*rxq->buf), GFP_KERNEL); if (rxq->buf == NULL) { wiphy_err(hw->wiphy, "failed to alloc RX skbuff list\n"); pci_free_consistent(priv->pdev, size, rxq->rxd, rxq->rxd_dma); return -ENOMEM; } - memset(rxq->buf, 0, MWL8K_RX_DESCS * sizeof(*rxq->buf)); for (i = 0; i < MWL8K_RX_DESCS; i++) { int desc_size; @@ -1347,13 +1346,12 @@ static int mwl8k_txq_init(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, int index) } memset(txq->txd, 0, size); - txq->skb = kmalloc(MWL8K_TX_DESCS * sizeof(*txq->skb), GFP_KERNEL); + txq->skb = kzalloc(MWL8K_TX_DESCS * sizeof(*txq->skb), GFP_KERNEL); if (txq->skb == NULL) { wiphy_err(hw->wiphy, "failed to alloc TX skbuff list\n"); pci_free_consistent(priv->pdev, size, txq->txd, txq->txd_dma); return -ENOMEM; } - memset(txq->skb, 0, MWL8K_TX_DESCS * sizeof(*txq->skb)); for (i = 0; i < MWL8K_TX_DESCS; i++) { struct mwl8k_tx_desc *tx_desc; -- 1.6.3.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
