Subject: [PATCH net] vhost: Use kzalloc() to allocate vhost_msg_node
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2018 11:45:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180427154502.GA22544@la.guarana.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <000000000000a5b2b1056a86e98c@google.com>

The struct vhost_msg within struct vhost_msg_node is copied to userspace,
so it should be allocated with kzalloc() to ensure all structure padding
is zeroed.
