In mast_fill_bnode(), we first clear some fields of maple_big_node and set the 'type' unconditionally before return. This means we won't leverage any information in maple_big_node and it is safe to clear the whole structure. In maple_big_node, we define slot and padding/gap in a union. And based on current definition of MAPLE_BIG_NODE_SLOTS/GAPS, padding is always less than slot and part of the gap is overlapped by slot. For example on 64bit system: MAPLE_BIG_NODE_SLOT is 34 MAPLE_BIG_NODE_GAP is 21 With this knowledge, current code may clear some space by twice. And this could be avoid by clearing the structure as a whole.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
