From 1721a238ba5df9e870ed952464d38714261f5be9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 23:19:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] HID: Use kmemdup 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/) // @@ expression from,to,size,flag; statement S; @@ - to = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(size,flag); + to = kmemdup(from,size,flag); if (to==NULL || ...)
