From 31a86d137219373c3222ca5f4f912e9a4d8065bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eran Ben Elisha Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2017 19:19:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: ethtool: Initialize buffer when querying device channel settings Ethtool channels respond struct was uninitialized when querying device channel boundaries settings. As a result, unreported fields by the driver hold garbage. This may cause sending unsupported params to driver. Fixes: 8bf368620486 ('ethtool: ensure channel counts are within bounds ...')
