Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 5/6] batctl: Initialize complete ping packet before write
Date: Sat, 24 May 2014 14:16:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1400933804-9661-5-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1400933804-9661-1-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org>

The data structure for ping packets is not completely initialized by the
userspace because the kernel sets the originator address of the packet. This
is not only a bad practice but also irritate tools like valgrind.
