Message-ID: <20140614154541.GA4179@himangi-Dell> Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2014 21:15:41 +0530 From: Himangi Saraogi <himangi774@...il.com> To: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>, Gilles Muller <Gilles.Muller@...6.fr>, Nicolas Palix <nicolas.palix@...g.fr>, Michal Marek <mmarek@...e.cz>, cocci@...teme.lip6.fr, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] Coccinelle : Script to detect cast after memory allocation This script detects cases of use of cast for the value returned by kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc, kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes the cast as it is not useful. This Coccinelle script replaces drop_kmalloc_cast.cocci as it removes the casting in more limited cases of kmalloc, kzalloc and kcalloc.
