[PATCH] batman-adv: Use kasprintf

From: Himangi Saraogi
Date: Sat Jun 28 2014 - 14:36:51 EST


kasprintf combines kmalloc and sprintf, and takes care of the size
calculation itself.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

// <smpl>
@@
expression a,flag;
expression list args;
statement S;
@@

a =
- \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\)(...,flag)
+ kasprintf(flag,args)
<... when != a
if (a == NULL || ...) S
...>
- sprintf(a,args);
// </smpl>
