From 435b942deb9b9340790cb7610e7b8b644a42d10d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Oltean Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2022 13:08:31 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net: switchdev: add reminder near struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info br_switchdev_fdb_notify() creates an on-stack FDB info variable, and initializes it member by member. As such, newly added fields which are not initialized by br_switchdev_fdb_notify() will contain junk bytes from the stack. Other uses of struct switchdev_notifier_fdb_info have a struct initializer which should put zeroes in the uninitialized fields. Add a reminder above the structure for future developers. Recently discussed during review.
