Subject: [PATCH] parisc: Eliminate memset after alloc_bootmem_pages
Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2014 17:07:41 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140719113741.GA23655@himangi-Dell> (raw)

alloc_bootmem and related function always return zeroed region of
memory. Thus a memset after calls to these functions is unnecessary.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used for making the change:

@@
expression E,E1;
@@

E = \(alloc_bootmem\|alloc_bootmem_low\|alloc_bootmem_pages\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages\)(...)
... when != E
- memset(E,0,E1);
