From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: coda: get rid of CODA_ALLOC() These days we have kvzalloc() so we can delete CODA_ALLOC(). I made a couple related changes in coda_psdev_write(). First, I added some error handling to avoid a NULL dereference if the allocation failed. Second, I used kvmalloc() instead of kvzalloc() because we copy over the memory on the next line so there is no need to zero it first.
