The patch titled message/fusion: remove redundant memset has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is message-fusion-remove-redundant-memset.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: message/fusion: remove redundant memset From: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxx> alloc_fcdev() calls alloc_netdev() which uses kzalloc to alloc all the memory together with dev->priv region hence no zeroing of structs inside struct mpt_lan_priv needed.
