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: Sudarsana Reddy Kalluru <sudarsana.kall...@qlogic.com> Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang...@intel.com> --- qed_dcbx.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dcbx.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dcbx.c @@ -1189,13 +1189,12 @@ int qed_dcbx_get_config_params(struct qe return 0; } - dcbx_info = kmalloc(sizeof(*dcbx_info), GFP_KERNEL); + dcbx_info = kzalloc(sizeof(*dcbx_info), GFP_KERNEL); if (!dcbx_info) { DP_ERR(p_hwfn, "Failed to allocate struct qed_dcbx_info\n"); return -ENOMEM; } - memset(dcbx_info, 0, sizeof(*dcbx_info)); rc = qed_dcbx_query_params(p_hwfn, dcbx_info, QED_DCBX_OPERATIONAL_MIB); if (rc) { kfree(dcbx_info); @@ -1227,13 +1226,12 @@ static struct qed_dcbx_get *qed_dcbnl_ge { struct qed_dcbx_get *dcbx_info; - dcbx_info = kmalloc(sizeof(*dcbx_info), GFP_KERNEL); + dcbx_info = kzalloc(sizeof(*dcbx_info), GFP_KERNEL); if (!dcbx_info) { DP_ERR(hwfn->cdev, "Failed to allocate memory for dcbx_info\n"); return NULL; } - memset(dcbx_info, 0, sizeof(*dcbx_info)); if (qed_dcbx_query_params(hwfn, dcbx_info, type)) { kfree(dcbx_info); return NULL;
