From 58a01a45721bf7bd3a41a86248c3cb02a6b0c501 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:39:28 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc.c: eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b, alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these functions is unnecessary. This was fixed using the following semantic patch.
