[RFC 0/4] malloc type argument cleanup (part 1)

[Stephen Hemminger]

This part documents and provides script to replace the unused
type argument in rte_malloc.  The type was intended to be a string
but never implemented, and if it hasn't been implemented in 10 years
it won't be. Too invasive to completely remove it.

Stephen Hemminger (4):
  rte_malloc: document that type is unused
  devtools/cocci: add script to find unnecessary malloc type
  devtools/cocci: add script to find where rte_calloc should be used
  eal/malloc: remove type argument from internal malloc routines
