When someone converted the *buffer* allocation to kzalloc they

The

Good eyes. I bet that's it.
Heh. This exact fix was posted to linux-kernel by Lee Schermerhorn
three weeks ago:
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2006 14:07:37 -0500
From: Lee Schermerhorn <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH] 2.6.16-rc3-mm1 - restore zeroing of packet_command
struct in sr_ioctl.c
To: linux-kernel <[email protected]>
Cc: Andrew Morton <[email protected]>
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
It isn't Andrew's job to make sure a patch gets to the right place
until it is safely in -mm, and even then he's not always going to
know the severity and importance unless he's told.
If it was a patch to "restore" a regression in behaviour, CCs should
at least have gone to the author of the patch that broke it, and the
subsystem maintainers / list / etc as well.
