Subject: [PATCH] drivers: Use kzalloc instead of 'kmalloc+memset', where possible.
Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 23:40:07 +0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1306172407.8198.3.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Following patch removes the uses of 'kmalloc+memset' from various drivers subsystems, which is replaced by kzalloc. kzalloc take care of setting allocated memory with null, so it helps to get rid from using memset.
