[PATCH] fs/ext3: use kzalloc instead of kmalloc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  better to use kzalloc instead of kmalloc.
    if acl_e->e_tag is neither ACL_USER, nor ACL_GROUP.
    entry->e_id will not be initialized

  we can not say it is a bug, but suggest to initialize it, too.
