Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.1005152319150.21345@ask.diku.dk> Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 23:19:30 +0200 (CEST) From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk> To: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@...e.cz>, linux-input@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 21/37] drivers/hid: Use kmemdup From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.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 || ...)
