In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across neighboring fields. Use memset_after() so memset() doesn't get confused about writing beyond the destination member that is intended to be the starting point of zeroing through the end of the struct. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- The old code seems to be doing the wrong thing: starting from not the first member, but sized for the whole struct.
