Subject: tipc: Use kmemdup instead of kmalloc and memcpy
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=810bf11033637a2069952afb9c37f3afd3bbfe41;p=linux-beck.git

tipc: Use kmemdup instead of kmalloc and memcpy

Replace calls to kmalloc followed by a memcpy with a direct call to
kmemdup.

The Coccinelle semantic patch used to make this change is as follows:
@@
expression from,to,size,flag;
statement S;
@@

-  to = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(size,flag);
+  to = kmemdup(from,size,flag);
   if (to==NULL || ...) S
-  memcpy(to, from, size);
