xsk_getsockopt() is copying uninitialized stack memory to userspace when `extra_stats` is `false`. Fix it. Fixes: 8aa5a33578e9 ("xsk: Add new statistics") Suggested-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peilin Ye <yepeilin.cs@xxxxxxxxx> --- Doing `= {};` is sufficient since currently `struct xdp_statistics` is defined as follows: struct xdp_statistics { __u64 rx_dropped; __u64 rx_invalid_descs; __u64 tx_invalid_descs; __u64 rx_ring_full; __u64 rx_fill_ring_empty_descs; __u64 tx_ring_empty_descs; }; When being copied to the userspace, `stats` will not contain any uninitialized "holes" between struct fields. Changes in v2: - Remove the "Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" tag. (Suggested by Song Liu <songliubraving@xxxxxx>) - Initialize `stats` by assignment instead of using memset().
