Hi Sven,

all these changes seem fine to me.

Acked-by: Simon Horman <horms@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

With regards to ip_vs_zero_stats(), it uses

   memset(stats, 0, (char *)&stats->lock - (char *)stats);

to clear stats and then calls ip_vs_zero_estimator(), which uses

   est->last_conns = 0;
   est->last_inpkts = 0;
   ...

to clear stats->est.

I wonder if it would be cleaner to either clear
stats->... directly in ip_vs_zero_stats(), or use
memset in ip_vs_zero_estimator()?

Something like this...

----------------------------------------------------------------

ipvs: Use memset to clear estimator

This makes the code in ip_vs_zero_estimator() a lot closer
to the style of its parent, ip_vs_zero_stats().
