What if somebody want to create his own implementation of getname()? IMO it's much safer to introduce memset() here and relax getname()'s responsibilities. Quite many drivers "forget" to initialize outputs structures. E.g. new net_device's private field is kzalloc'ed to simplify driver's code. -- Vasiliy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
