Which do you mean? When doing the conversions I tended to opt for
struct_group() since it provides more robust "intentionality". Strictly
speaking, the new memset helpers are doing field-spanning writes, but the
"clear to the end" pattern was so common it made sense to add the helpers,
as they're a bit less disruptive. It's totally up to you! :)
Well, of the patches you cc'd to me only this one used the struct
group..
