Subject: [PATCH 8/20] drivers/parport: Use kzalloc
Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 22:01:46 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.1005132200410.6282@ask.diku.dk> (raw)
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>
Use 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,size,flags;
statement S;
@@
-x = kmalloc(size,flags);
+x = kzalloc(size,flags);
if (x == NULL) S
-memset(x, 0, size);
// </smpl>
