Either the crypto tree or through Andrew seems like the right thing to me. Also the other issue is that it risks breaking things if people add new kzfree() instances while we are doing the transition. Could you just add a "#define kzfree kfree_sensitive" so that things continue to compile and we can remove it in the next kernel release? regards, dan carpenter
