Subject: [PATCH v2] ksmbd: Remove a redundant zeroing of memory
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2022 07:32:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <577b4601aa5d62d222fa9387c5036f2504f40318.1648017112.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> (raw)

fill_transform_hdr() has only one caller that already clears tr_buf (it is
kzalloc'ed).

So there is no need to clear it another time here.

Remove the superfluous memset() and add a comment to remind that the caller
must clear the buffer.

v2: keep kzalloc in the caller and remove the memset here
