Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1011082243220.23697@swampdragon.chaosbits.net> Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 00:07:34 +0100 (CET) From: Jesper Juhl <jj@...osbits.net> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 00/17][trivial] Remove unnecessary casts of void ptr returning alloc function return values Hi, The [vk][cmz]alloc(_node) family of functions return void pointers which it's completely unnecessary/pointless to cast to other pointer types since that happens implicitly. So, I decided to clean out the remaining such casts that we have in the kernel. I almost wish I'd never done so since that task took me into staging/ and past files that made my eyes hurt and made me wish I'd been born blind without a screenreader and never having learned braille (specific filenames excluded to protect the guilty). But, since I was not on a general cleanup mission but only wanted to remove those unnecessary casts, I managed to escape with partial eyesight intact. Anyway, this series removes all remaining unnecessary casts of void pointers returned from [vk][cmz]alloc(_node)() that I could find. -- Jesper Juhl <jj@...osbits.net> http://www.chaosbits.net/ Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
