Use kmalloc() instead of kzalloc() in ep_alloc(). It seems that no need to zero-initialize struct eventpoll simply because all of the fields in the struct will be set properly right after. The struct might contain paddings in it but IMHO it would not be a problem since it will not be accessed from the outside of epoll code.
