I'm not sure that I understand your description. As for me, memset with 0 before
memory freeing is required only for sensitive information and it's completely
unrelated to memory zeroing during allocation with kzalloc/kcalloc.
If it's not a sensitive information then memset could be safely removed.

Yes, of course. Could I add "Suggested-by"?

Thanks,
