Yes, but now it is common practise to remove any global zero inits.

I did a quick check through the 2.4 tree looking for zero initializations
on the ->u data in *_read_inode() and *_new_inode(). Some set individual
fields to zero and others to non-zero values, some only set non-zero
values, and some did memset(inode->u.*_i, 0, sizeof(inode->u.*_i)) before
filling in their private data.
Patch attached, and filesystem maintainers (as applicable) CC'd. UDF
needs a bit of looking into, because I'm not 100% sure of the code.
Cheers, Andreas
