Subject: [PATCH 12/37] drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx: Use kmemdup
Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 23:16:39 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.1005152316220.21345@ask.diku.dk> (raw)

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

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>
