Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2007 10:51:13 +0000 From: Alan <alan@...rguk.ukuu.org.uk> To: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@...dspring.com> Cc: "Ahmed S. Darwish" <darwish.07@...il.com>, Rolf Eike Beer <eike-kernel@...tec.de>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH 2.6.20-rc3] TTY_IO: Remove unnecessary kmalloc casts > represents a kmalloc->kzalloc cleanup (there's lots of those), and > also see if you can replace one of these: > > sizeof(struct blah) > > with one of these: > > sizeof(*blahptr) Patches that do this will get rejected by the tty maintainer in favour of the clarity of the sizeof(struct xyz) format 8) Ahmed - if you can send me a patch for the tty_io/tty_ioctl code which switches to kzalloc where it makes sense and removes un-needed casts I'll review it and push the bits that look sane upstream.
