[PATCH v2 49/63] btrfs: Use memset_startat() to clear end of struct

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

 



In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.

Use memset_startat() 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.
