kasprintf combines kmalloc and sprintf, and takes care of the size calculation itself.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: // <smpl> @@ expression a,flag; expression list args; statement S; @@ a = - \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(...,flag) + kasprintf(flag,args) <... when != a if (a == NULL || ...) S ...> - sprintf(a,args); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi <himangi...@gmail.com> Acked-by: Julia Lawall <julia.law...@lip6.fr> --- net/batman-adv/sysfs.c | 24 ++++++++---------------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/batman-adv/sysfs.c b/net/batman-adv/sysfs.c index fc47baa..f40cb04 100644 --- a/net/batman-adv/sysfs.c +++ b/net/batman-adv/sysfs.c @@ -900,32 +900,24 @@ int batadv_throw_uevent(struct batadv_priv *bat_priv, enum batadv_uev_type type, bat_kobj = &bat_priv->soft_iface->dev.kobj; - uevent_env[0] = kmalloc(strlen(BATADV_UEV_TYPE_VAR) + - strlen(batadv_uev_type_str[type]) + 1, - GFP_ATOMIC); + uevent_env[0] = kasprintf(GFP_ATOMIC, + "%s%s", BATADV_UEV_TYPE_VAR, + batadv_uev_type_str[type]); if (!uevent_env[0]) goto out; - sprintf(uevent_env[0], "%s%s", BATADV_UEV_TYPE_VAR, - batadv_uev_type_str[type]); - - uevent_env[1] = kmalloc(strlen(BATADV_UEV_ACTION_VAR) + - strlen(batadv_uev_action_str[action]) + 1, - GFP_ATOMIC); + uevent_env[1] = kasprintf(GFP_ATOMIC, + "%s%s", BATADV_UEV_ACTION_VAR, + batadv_uev_action_str[action]); if (!uevent_env[1]) goto out; - sprintf(uevent_env[1], "%s%s", BATADV_UEV_ACTION_VAR, - batadv_uev_action_str[action]); - /* If the event is DEL, ignore the data field */ if (action != BATADV_UEV_DEL) { - uevent_env[2] = kmalloc(strlen(BATADV_UEV_DATA_VAR) + - strlen(data) + 1, GFP_ATOMIC); + uevent_env[2] = kasprintf(GFP_ATOMIC, + "%s%s", BATADV_UEV_DATA_VAR, data); if (!uevent_env[2]) goto out; - - sprintf(uevent_env[2], "%s%s", BATADV_UEV_DATA_VAR, data); } ret = kobject_uevent_env(bat_kobj, KOBJ_CHANGE, uevent_env); -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
