Subject: [PATCH 6/14] arch/parisc: Eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:23:28 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0806241023080.26777@ask.diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory.  Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.

This was fixed using the following semantic patch.

expression E;
statement S;

E = \(alloc_bootmem\|alloc_bootmem_low\|alloc_bootmem_pages\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages\)(...)
