I was expecting we'd also throw in a check_zeroed_user().
Either we can check if the buffer is zeroed all the way,
or we can't and we shouldn't validate reserved either

	check_zeroed_user(optval + offsetof(reserved),
			  len - offsetof(reserved))
?

There is a check that len is not larger than zs and users can't give
large buffer.

I would say that is pretty safe to write "if (zc.reserved)".

Thanks
