NOT FOR MAINLINE!
This is for the driver tutorial I give. It will not be included in the

This is only a teaching tool.
...
+ pkt = kmalloc(sizeof(*pkt), GFP_ATOMIC);
+ if (!pkt)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+ memset(pkt, sizeof(*pkt), 0x00);
...

Lesson 1:
Write an USB driver.
Lesson 2:
Correct the memset() argument order or use kzalloc().
