3.16.55-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mohamed Ghannam <simo.ghannam@xxxxxxxxx> commit 8f659a03a0ba9289b9aeb9b4470e6fb263d6f483 upstream. inet->hdrincl is racy, and could lead to uninitialized stack pointer usage, so its value should be read only once.
