You need to set the whole buffer to 0.

In Squid-2 we have the following fragment to deal with this warning:

    if (RUNNING_ON_VALGRIND) {
        /* Keep valgrind happy.. complains about uninitialized bytes otherwise 
*/
        memset(&ev, 0, sizeof(ev));
    }

Alternatively one can spend a little time to teach valgrind about how
epoll_ctl reads it's parameters.. The warning comes from the data member
being an union of different sizes depending on the epoll_ctl call used..
