Subject: [PATCH 10/37] drivers/net/wireless/libertas_tf: Use kmemdup
Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 23:16:03 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.1005152315450.21345@ask.diku.dk> (raw)
From: Julia Lawall <julia-dAYI7NvHqcQ@public.gmane.org>
Use kmemdup when some other buffer is immediately copied into the
allocated region.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@@
expression from,to,size,flag;
statement S;
@@
- to = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(size,flag);
+ to = kmemdup(from,size,flag);
if (to==NULL || ...) S
- memcpy(to, from, size);
// </smpl>
