From 3197ce220c821b869731872251f2e225c37cbbb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mitch Williams Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2013 06:39:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] i40e: don't allocate zero size Shockingly, the compiler didn't flag this uninitialized variable. This fixes a potential memory corruption condition where ARQ messages are written to random memory locations.
