From 3f0666ee3039443fa7b7cf436dd16ce0dd8e3f95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 00:34:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Auto-zero the allocated sock object We have a __GFP_ZERO flag that allocates a zeroed chunk of memory. Use it in the sk_alloc() and avoid a hand-made memset(). This is a temporary patch that will help us in the nearest future :) Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S.
