libmnl: fix valgrind warnings about padding

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When using  mnl_nlmsg_put_extra_header() it pads out the addtional
header but only zeros the original size not the padded value. Which
cause valgrind to complain about sendto() with unitialized byte.
