sg_init_table zeroes its first argument, so the allocation of that argument
doesn't have to.

sg_init_table zeroes its first argument, so the allocation of that argument
doesn't have to.

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

expression x,n,flags;

x =

It inits the first entry in the array, but what about all of the other
ones?  Is that "safe" to have uninitialized data in them like your
change causes to happen?

thanks,

Sorry, I don't follow.  The complete code is:

        priv->sg_tx_p = kcalloc(num, sizeof(struct scatterlist), GFP_ATOMIC);
        if (!priv->sg_tx_p) {
		dev_err(priv->port.dev, "%s:kzalloc Failed\n", __func__);
                return 0;
	}

	sg_init_table(priv->sg_tx_p, num); /* Initialize SG table */

and the definition of sg_init_table is:

void sg_init_table(struct scatterlist *sgl, unsigned int nents)
{
	memset(sgl, 0, sizeof(*sgl) * nents);
	sg_init_marker(sgl, nents);
}

It looks to me like it zeroes all of the elements?  The same file does
contain a call:

sg_init_table(&priv->sg_rx, 1);

But that's not the one associated with the patch.

Applied to

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git for-next

Thanks!

[1/1] spi/topcliff-pch: drop double zeroing
      commit: ca03dba30f2b8ff45a2972c6691e4c96d8c52b3b

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark

I do not understand which of the 14 patches you applied. Your mail 
responds to the 00/14 mail.

Ah, missed the "* nents" thing there, sorry, my fault.
