From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 16:16:21 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Add explicit zeroing to "envp" array in device 'show' method X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~31108 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5309809129ca3ab14f8bd5e5ef66c1b7686eb639;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git Add explicit zeroing to "envp" array in device 'show' method As Stephen Hemminger says, this is a "belt and suspenders" patch that zeroes the envp array at allocation time, even though all the users should NULL-terminate it anyway (and we've hopefully fixed everybody that doesn't do that). And we'll apparently clean the whole envp thing up for 2.6.24 anyway. But let's just be robust, and do both this *and* make sure that all users are doing the right thing.
