The dev->read_queue buffer memory allocated from iowarrior_probe is allocated in an uninitialized state, and it is possible to copy the uninitialized memory area to the user buffer through iowarrior_read. This has a risk of leaking important information, and even if it is modified to initialize to NULL bytes when allocating memory, there is no significant change in performance, so I think it is appropriate to allocate memory through kcalloc instead of kmalloc_array.
