Instead of allocating a structure on the stack with random data and then expect the callee to perform the initialization (which is, in general, error prone), prefer zeroing the structure explicitly at allocation and provide the already zeroed area, so no explicit memset operation is needed. It is probably safer to do so, so we limit the timeframe when dirty data could actually be accessed by mistake.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
