As I am trying to touch as few source files as possible I am looking for a
good way to substitute a call to Linux kzalloc(). This function allocates
and zeroes the memory before returning the pointer. So a call to malloc()
and then memset() in eCos is my approach.

How can a #define be written to do the trick, so I don't need to touch the
source file in this area with #ifdef  __ECOS ?

struct jffs2_inode_info *f = kzalloc(sizeof(*f), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!f)
        return -ENOMEM;

#define kzalloc(x,y) \
        malloc(x); \
        if (HOW_TO_MAKE_SURE_MALLOC_WAS_SUCCESSFUL) { \
                memset(tmp,0,x);\
        }

Regards
Max Seidenstuecker
