Subject: RE: [RFC] networking: convert many more places to skb_put_zero()

Hi, 
Indeed, it find more.
Compare with my patch, still lost pattern like below,
1. sctp and openvswitch
--- a/net/sctp/output.c
+++ b/net/sctp/output.c
@@ -463,7 +463,7 @@ static int sctp_packet_pack(struct sctp_packet *packet,
 
 			padding = SCTP_PAD4(chunk->skb->len) - chunk->skb->len;
 			if (padding)
-				memset(skb_put(chunk->skb, padding), 0, padding);
+				skb_put_zero(chunk->skb, padding);

--- a/net/dsa/tag_trailer.c
+++ b/net/dsa/tag_trailer.c
@@ -43,8 +43,7 @@ static struct sk_buff *trailer_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev)

 	if (padlen) {
-		u8 *pad = skb_put(nskb, padlen);
-		memset(pad, 0, padlen);
+		skb_put_zero(nskb, padlen);

I will send a separate patch for ipv6/ndisc.c once spatch done.
