Subject: [PATCH] cocci: extend MEMZERO_ARRAY() rules
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 11:29:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203102908.749954-1-toon@iotcl.com> (raw)
In December we've added the MEMZERO_ARRAY() macro. I wrote the initial version,
and Junio made improvements to it. But I realized not all cases where
MEMZERO_ARRAY() was used were detected by coccinelle. So I've been improving the
rules further. But due to the holidays I forgot had this patch laying around,
and now during cleanup I ran into it again.
As far as I can tell, all cases that now use MEMZERO_ARRAY() would have been
converted by coccinelle automatically.
As pointed out by René[1], "0x0" can be replaced by "0", and coccinelle can also
be used to drop unneeded parentheses.
I'm not entirely sure it's worth applying this patch, as the original
MEMZERO_ARRAY() date back a month or two. So I don't mind if this patch would be
dismissed.

Kind regards,

Recently the MEMZERO_ARRAY() macro was introduced. In that commit also
coccinelle rules were added to capture cases that can be converted to
use that macro.
Later a few more cases were manually converted to use the macro, but
coccinelle didn't capture those. Extend the rules to capture those as
well.
In various cases the code could be further beautified by removing
parentheses which are no longer needed. Modify the coccinelle rules to
optimize those as well and fix them.
During conversion indentation also used spaces where tabs should be
used, fix that in one go.
