Thank you for pointing it out. I didn't know that nor check the macros. I'll care about similar problems next time. I checked the macros and kind of understand what you mean, but honestly I'm not sure whether or not it's perfectly correct to remove memset. If this is the right way, I think we can remove the following memset which I modified as well. The reason is the same as you mentioned. conn is zeroed by LIBCFS_ALLOC before memset.
