The patch titled arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries: use kasprintf has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was arch-powerpc-platforms-pseries-use-kasprintf.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries: use kasprintf From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> kasprintf combines kmalloc and sprintf, and takes care of the size calculation itself. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression a,flag; expression list args; statement S; @@ a = - \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(...,flag) + kasprintf(flag,args) <... when != a if (a == NULL || ...) S ...> - sprintf(a,args); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Acked-by: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c | 7 ++----- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff -puN arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c~arch-powerpc-platforms-pseries-use-kasprintf arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c --- a/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c~arch-powerpc-platforms-pseries-use-kasprintf +++ a/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c @@ -79,13 +79,12 @@ static struct device_node *dlpar_parse_c * prepend this to the full_name. */ name = (char *)ccwa + ccwa->name_offset; - dn->full_name = kmalloc(strlen(name) + 2, GFP_KERNEL); + dn->full_name = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "/%s", name); if (!dn->full_name) { kfree(dn); return NULL; } - sprintf(dn->full_name, "/%s", name); return dn; } @@ -410,15 +409,13 @@ static ssize_t dlpar_cpu_probe(const cha * directory of the device tree.
