Subject: [RFC 4/5] compress/octeontx: remove memset before rte_free
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2024 10:56:03 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241113185720.28706-5-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241113185720.28706-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
Calling memset before rte_free not necessary, and could be
removed by the compiler. In this case, the data is not security
sensitive so the memset can be removed. Some security scanning
tools will flag this.
