Re: Re: [PATCH] crypto: all - alloc and init all req alloc as zero

[张轶群 <zhangyiqun@phytium.com.cn>]

Actually, I met a problem in my own development. Because some members in req
struct is not intialized, they cause some errors in test. If we change kmalloc
to kzalloc, it can facilitate all developers to care about inialized all 
members. I hope my idea can convince you. But I think you have other
important consideration.

Thanks,
