call to memset to assign 0 value immediately after allocating memory with kzalloc is unnecesaary as kzalloc allocates the memory filled with 0 value. Semantic patch used to resolve this issue: @@ expression e,e2; constant c; statement S; @@ e = kzalloc(e2, c); if(e == NULL) S - memset(e, 0, e2); Signed-off-by: Himanshu Jha <himanshujha199...@gmail.com> --- drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dcbx.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dcbx.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dcbx.c index eaca457..8f6ccc0 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dcbx.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_dcbx.c @@ -1244,7 +1244,6 @@ int qed_dcbx_get_config_params(struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn, if (!dcbx_info) 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); -- 2.7.4 Acked-by: Sudarsana Kalluru <sudarsana.kall...@cavium.com>
