the kzalloc is suppose to replace a kmalloc followed by a memset
operation. It is not the case for these changes and so these changes
make no sense.

Well, the old code was zeroing sizeof(struct _urb) bytes while yours is
zeroing sizeof(struct _urb) + X so it will definitely take more time.

It only clears part of struct _urb. Note that "stuct _urb" and "struct urb"
are 2 different structures.

Would it? I thought memset() uses block move operation which doesn't
scale linearly.
And, usb_init_urb() calls memset() anyway, so the previously existed
memset() was superfluous.

Thanks for the comment.

Om.

Note that only beginning if the aloocated memory was zeroed in original
code; your patch may introduce slowdowns.
