[PATCH 0/9] scsi: Use zeroing allocators than allocator/memset

From: Himanshu Jha
Date: Sat Dec 30 2017 - 10:29:38 EST


There are many instances where a region of memory is allocated using
allocator functions and immediately the region of memory is zeroed using
memset function.

We already have zeroing memory allocator function for that purpose and
replacing the currently used allocator functions with zeroing allocators
will make code cleaner, easier to read, and also reduce the code size.

For eg:

Before:
himanshu@himanshu-Vostro-3559:~/linux-next$ size drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_hwi.o
text data bss dec hex filename
40783 5940 64 46787 b6c3 drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_hwi.o

After:
himanshu@himanshu-Vostro-3559:~/linux-next$ size drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_hwi.o
text data bss dec hex filename
40619 5940 64 46623 b61f drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_hwi.o

Also, all these patches have been tested using 0-day test service with
zero build failures.

Done using Coccinelle.
