From 786b32f892dc341b607445bdef29d8e41a840925 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2008 00:48:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem As noted by Akinobu Mita in commit b1fceac2 ("x86: remove unnecessary memset and NULL check after alloc_bootmem()"), 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.
