scripts/coccinelle/free: add NULL test before dev_{put, hold} functions

2022-07-16T13:33:55+00:00

Since commit b37a46683739 ("netdevice: add the case if dev is NULL"), NULL check before dev_{put, hold} functions is not needed. Signed-off-by: Ziyang Xuan Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall

drop unneeded *s

2021-05-01T19:23:57+00:00

Kfree.cocci only supports org and report mode, so the *s (used for context mode) are not useful. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall

of: Remove of_dev_{get,put}()

2021-02-13T01:23:39+00:00

of_dev_get() and of_dev_put are just wrappers for get_device()/put_device() on a platform_device. There's also already platform_device_{get,put}() wrappers for this purpose. Let's update the few users and remove of_dev_{get,put}(). Cc: Michael Ellerman Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: "David S.

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()

2020-08-07T18:33:22+00:00

As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.
