Subject: audit: Use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc()/memset() in audit_krule_to_data()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=77563f3d4704206c8f6626852365591aa4e0b779;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

audit: Use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc()/memset() in audit_krule_to_data()

Replace kmalloc+memset by kzalloc for better readability and simplicity.

This addresses the warning below:
WARNING: kzalloc should be used for data, instead of kmalloc/memset
