Subject: drivers/char/ppdev.c: use kasprintf
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=87575437d8173c7da48a4dee25399807c7bec9cb;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

drivers/char/ppdev.c: use kasprintf

kasprintf combines kmalloc and sprintf, and takes care of the size
calculation itself.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <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>
