[PATCH net 1/1] net/smc: Prevent kernel-infoleak in __smc_diag_dump()

[PATCH net 1/1] net/smc: Prevent kernel-infoleak in __smc_diag_dump()

[Ursula Braun]

From: Peilin Ye <yepeilin.cs@gmail.com>

__smc_diag_dump() is potentially copying uninitialized kernel stack memory
into socket buffers, since the compiler may leave a 4-byte hole near the
beginning of `struct smcd_diag_dmbinfo`. Fix it by initializing `dinfo`
with memset().

Please do not CC: stable for networking patches as per the netdev FAQ.

Applied and queued up for -stable, thank you.
