4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 153711f9421be5dbc973dc57a4109dc9d54c89b1 ] virtnet_set_mac_address() interprets mac address as struct sockaddr, but upper layer only allocates dev->addr_len which is ETH_ALEN + sizeof(sa_family_t) in this case. We lack a unified definition for mac address, so just fix the upper layer, this also allows drivers to interpret it to struct sockaddr freely.
