No problem, I will resend the patch.

scsi: qla4xxx: Use zeroing allocator rather than allocator/memset --Applied
scsi: qla2xxx: Use zeroing allocator rather than allocator/memset --Applied
scsi: qedi: Use zeroing allocator instead of allocator/memset --Resend
scsi: mvsas: Use zeroing allocator rather than allocator/memset
scsi: fnic: Use zeroing allocator rather than allocator/memset
scsi: dpt_i2o: Use zeroing allocator rather than allocator/memset
scsi: bnx2fc: Use zeroing allocator rather than allocator/memset --Resend
scsi: bfa: Use zeroing allocator rather than allocator/memset --Applied
scsi: bnx2i: Use zeroing allocator rather than allocator/memset --Applied

But do I also need to send those mentioned above, which didn't receive
any response from you ?

Also, I later sent a patch for fnic after this series which can be
applied after or before this series whichever is suitable to you.

Thanks
Himanshu Jha
