Your previous patch to use kzfree() has been applied on its own merit, could you rebase this one on top of current net-next/master? > diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c > b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c > index 31629fc..7e4f32f 100644 > --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c > +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.c > @@ -960,10 +960,10 @@ int ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa(struct ixgbe_adapter > *adapter, u32 *msgbuf, u32 vf) > return 0; > > err_aead: > - memset(xs->aead, 0, sizeof(*xs->aead)); > + memzero_explicit(xs->aead, sizeof(*xs->aead)); > kfree(xs->aead); > err_xs: > - memset(xs, 0, sizeof(*xs)); > + memzero_explicit(xs, sizeof(*xs)); > kfree(xs); > err_out: > msgbuf[1] = err; > @@ -1049,7 +1049,7 @@ int ixgbe_ipsec_vf_del_sa(struct ixgbe_adapter > *adapter, u32 *msgbuf, u32 vf) > ixgbe_ipsec_del_sa(xs); > > /* remove the xs that was made-up in the add request */ > - memset(xs, 0, sizeof(*xs)); > + memzero_explicit(xs, sizeof(*xs)); > kfree(xs); > > return 0;
