Name
kzfree —
like kfree but zero memory
Synopsis
void kzfree ( | const void * p) ; |
Arguments
p
object to free memory of
Description
The memory of the object p
points to is zeroed before freed.
If p
is NULL
, kzfree
does nothing.
Note
this function zeroes the whole allocated buffer which can be a good
deal bigger than the requested buffer size passed to kmalloc
. So be
careful when using this function in performance sensitive code.
