The patch titled drivers/ide/arm/icside.c: kmalloc + memset conversion to kzalloc has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was drivers-ide-arm-icsidec-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch This patch was dropped because it was sent to Bart, then dropped ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: drivers/ide/arm/icside.c: kmalloc + memset conversion to kzalloc From: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxx> Is this a bug? In original verison memset cleared sizeof(state) bytes instead of sizeof(*state). If it was intentional then this patch is invalid. If not intentional -> valid :) Please review. drivers/ide/arm/icside.c | 18883 -> 18849 (-34 bytes) Signed-off-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Russell King <rmk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/ide/arm/icside.c | 3 +-- 1 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -puN drivers/ide/arm/icside.c~drivers-ide-arm-icsidec-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc drivers/ide/arm/icside.c --- a/drivers/ide/arm/icside.c~drivers-ide-arm-icsidec-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc +++ a/drivers/ide/arm/icside.c @@ -682,13 +682,12 @@ icside_probe(struct expansion_card *ec, if (ret) goto out; - state = kmalloc(sizeof(struct icside_state), GFP_KERNEL); + state = kzalloc(sizeof(struct icside_state), GFP_KERNEL); if (!state) { ret = -ENOMEM; goto release; } - memset(state, 0, sizeof(state)); state->type = ICS_TYPE_NOTYPE; state->dev = &ec->dev; _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from m.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxx are fs-cifs-connectc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-md-dm-hw-handlerc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-md-dm-path-selectorc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-md-dm-tablec-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-md-dm-targetc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch git-dvb.patch drivers-input-serio-gscps2c-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-ide-arm-icsidec-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-mmc-core-busc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-mmc-core-hostc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-mmc-core-mmc_opsc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch git-mtd.patch mtd-add-module-license-to-mtdbdi.patch mtd-remove-redundant-dead-code-from-physmap_ofc.patch drivers-mtd-inftlmountc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kcalloc.patch usb-remove-redundant-memset-from-amd5536udc.patch drivers-net-wan-hdlc_frc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-net-irda-irda-usbc-mostly-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kalloc.patch drivers-atm-iphasec-mostly-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch dont-optimise-away-baud-rate-changes-when-bother-is-used.patch drivers-pci-hotplug-cpqphp_ctrlc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-scsi-a4000tc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-scsi-bvme6000_scsic-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-scsi-gdthc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-scsi-ide-scsic-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-scsi-lpfc-lpfc_debugfsc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kcalloc.patch drivers-scsi-lpfc-lpfc_initc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kcalloc.patch drivers-scsi-lpfc-lpfc_scsic-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-scsi-megaraidc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-scsi-dpt_i2oc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-message-fusion-mptctlc-mostly-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-block-ccissc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-block-cpqarrayc-better-error-handling-and-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kalloc.patch drivers-usb-misc-ftdi-elanc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch arch-x86_64-kernel-io_apicc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch include-asm-frv-thread_infoh-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch include-asm-m32r-thread_infoh-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-char-consolemapc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch doc-firmware_sample_firmware_classc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch fs-autofs4-inodec-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch drivers-char-ip2-ip2mainc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch fs-jbd2-journalc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch fs-reiser4-plugin-file-cryptcompressc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch reiser4-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch fs-reiser4-init_superc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch fs-reiser4-plugin-inode_ops_renamec-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch fs-reiser4-ktxnmgrdc-kmalloc-memset-conversion-to-kzalloc.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
