From: Vlad Tsyrklevich <vlad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ce7e40c432ba84da104438f6799d460a4cad41bc ] ipddp_route structs contain alignment padding so kernel heap memory is leaked when they are copied to user space in ipddp_ioctl(SIOCFINDIPDDPRT). Change kmalloc() to kzalloc() to clear that memory. Signed-off-by: Vlad Tsyrklevich <vlad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
