Where is that memset? The only possibly related one I can find in the
kselftest harness is:
if (sizeof(foo) > 0)
memset(foo, 0, sizeof(foo));
If your compiler complains about that, then you need to fix your
compiler and not perfectly correct code.
You again fail to provide enough information to understand what you are
trying to "fix" including the compiler version and related built
options.
Thanks,
