drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dcbx.c:1267:13-20: WARNING: kzalloc should be used for dcbx_info, instead of kmalloc/memset
Use kzalloc rather than kmalloc followed by memset with 0 This considers some simple cases that are common and easy to validate Note in particular that there are no ...s in the rule, so all of the matched code has to be contiguous Generated by: scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocci CC: [email protected] <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu <[email protected]> --- qed_dcbx.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dcbx.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dcbx.c @@ -1264,11 +1264,10 @@ static struct qed_dcbx_get *qed_dcbnl_ge { struct qed_dcbx_get *dcbx_info; - dcbx_info = kmalloc(sizeof(*dcbx_info), GFP_ATOMIC); + dcbx_info = kzalloc(sizeof(*dcbx_info), GFP_ATOMIC); if (!dcbx_info) return NULL; - memset(dcbx_info, 0, sizeof(*dcbx_info)); if (qed_dcbx_query_params(hwfn, dcbx_info, type)) { kfree(dcbx_info); return NULL;
