From 3e3a7766c2e6995ac98e7855017abc3544d54e08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars Ellenberg Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 10:41:45 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drbd: use kzalloc and memset(,0,) to start with clean buffers in drbd_nl Make sure we start with clean buffers to not accidentally send garbage back to userspace. Note: has not been observed; but just in case.
