Currently, kzalloc() returns zero-filled memory, while kmalloc() simply ignores the second argument and never fills the memory area with zeros.
I want kmalloc(size, __GFP_ZERO) to behave as kzalloc() does, which will make it easier to add more memory allocator variants.
With the introduction of __GFP_ZERO flag, going forward, kzmalloc() variants can fall back to kmalloc() enabling the __GFP_ZERO flag.
