From 8104891b86b212de77063660c0c062b427526fa6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steffen Klassert Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2012 23:37:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Initialize the struct rt6_info behind the dst_enty field We start initializing the struct rt6_info at the first field behind the struct dst_enty. This is error prone because it might leave a new field uninitialized. So start initializing the struct rt6_info right behind the dst_entry.
