Before buff is reused, I am not sure whether buff should be firstly
zeroed or not.
I don't see why it would, but if you want to zero it, that would be a
separate patch that is already needed on the existing code, which
never zeroes its buffers.

Sure. I agree with you. In the existing code, the buffers are not zeroed.

But to a buffer which is used for several times, it is good to zero it before it is
used again.

Can you add a new commit with the following?

1). Zero the buffers in the existing code


No need to zero the buffers, as it does not have any necessity and it will only affect performance.
Thanks,

Sorry. I can not get your point. Can you explain why no need to zero the buffers? Thanks in advance.

Hamdan




2). Add the zero functionality to your patch

If a buffer is used for many times, is it necessary to zero it before it is used again?

Thanks,
Zhu Yanjun


  From my perspective, it is good to the whole commit.

Please Jason and Leon comment on this.

Thanks,
