[PATCH 0/8] net: ethernet: reduce calls to memset(,0)

[PATCH 0/8] net: ethernet: reduce calls to memset(,0)

[Robert Eshleman]

This patch series removes calls to memset(,0) that are
redundant when used in conjunction with a zalloc call or
by simple zero-assignment of structs.

Robert Eshleman (8):
  net/mlx4: use kzalloc instead of kmalloc
  net/mlxsw: use pci_zalloc_consistent instead of pci_alloc_consistent
  tlan: use pci_zalloc instead of pci_alloc
  qed: remove unnecessary memsets
  at12: use pci_zalloc instead of pci_alloc
  netxen: remove unnecessary memset(,0) calls
  net: seeq: replace kmalloc / memset(,0) with kzalloc
  net: ethernet: ixp4xx_eth: remove memset(,0) with zalloc

[PATCH 2/8] net/mlxsw: use pci_zalloc_consistent instead of pci_alloc_consistent

[Robert Eshleman]

This patch replaces a call to pci_alloc_consistent and then
memset(0,) with a single call to pci_zalloc_consistent.

[PATCH 6/8] netxen: remove unnecessary memset(,0) calls

[Robert Eshleman]

This patch reduces calls to memset(,0) by replacing memset(,0)
calls that only zero-out newly declared structs with simply
assigning those structs to zero structs.

It also removes a pci_alloc_consistent call followed by a memset(,0)
call by simply using pci_zalloc_consistent.

[PATCH 1/8] net/mlx4: use kzalloc instead of kmalloc

[Robert Eshleman]

This patch replaces a kmalloc/memset(,0) call with a call to kzalloc.
It also removes a memset(,0) call that always follows a *zalloc call.

Definitely good to know (I may make that change too).  Thanks Joe.

Byte is not zero, so the intent of this patch does not apply here.
Dropping this from the patch set in v2.

Hi,

Thanks for your patch.
It looks good, but misses one similar point you might want to cover:

in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/port.c:1780 :
memset(context, 0, sizeof(*context));

Please don't move from one deprecated API to another one.  If you feel
like cleaning up DMA API calls please move to dma_alloc_coherent,
and do that for the whole DMA API usage.

NAK.  pci_zalloc_consistent is just as deprecated as
pci_alloc_consistent, and if you look at the implementation you'll
see that we actual zero the memory for both of them.

If you want to do some DMA-related busy work please just bulk convert
drivers from the PCI DMA API to the proper generic DMA API.  Bonus
points for automatіng that using a cocchinelle script.
