[S390] drivers/s390: Eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem
As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b, 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. drivers/s390/char/raw3270.c | 11 +---------- drivers/s390/char/sclp_con.c | 2 -- 2 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 12 deletions(-) This was fixed using the following semantic patch.
