2/// Remove casting the values returned by memory allocation functions
3/// like kmalloc, kzalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc etc.
4///
5//# This makes an effort to find cases of casting of values returned by
6//# kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc,
7//# kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes
8//# the casting as it is not required. The result in the patch case may
9//# need some reformatting.
