Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2022 22:27:54 +0200 From: Felix Schlepper <f3sch.git@...look.com> To: gregkh@...uxfoundation.org Cc: linux-staging@...ts.linux.dev, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Felix Schlepper <f3sch.git@...look.com> Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] Staging: rtl8192e: Using kzalloc and delete memset By using kzalloc, we can delete a memset. The practical difference is that using kzalloc() will zero out the txb->fragments[] array. The original code worked fine, but zeroing everything seems nicer.
