My suspicion is that > you're right, but it may still be worthwhile for documentation purposes. Not worth it. The kernel-janitors project is going around the kernel getting rid of static initializers that set variables to 0. This reduces the size of the kernel. It would just get removed by them eventually. And yes, it is documented. Somewhere. I don't remember where though :) greg k-h _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
