[PATCH v5 2/3] Staging: rtl8192e: Using kzalloc and delete memset

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

 



By using kzalloc, we can delete a memset.  The practical difference
is that using kzalloc() will zero out the txb->fragments[] array.
The original code worked fine, but zeroing everything seems nicer.
