[PATCH] fix alloc_cast.cocci warnings

From: kbuild test robot
Date: Sun Mar 05 2017 - 17:43:28 EST


fs/cifs/smb2misc.c:689:14-41: WARNING: casting value returned by memory allocation function to (struct close_cancelled_open *) is useless.

Remove casting the values returned by memory allocation functions
like kmalloc, kzalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc etc.

Semantic patch information:
This makes an effort to find cases of casting of values returned by
kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc,
kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes
the casting as it is not required. The result in the patch case may
need some reformatting.
