From: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 25bfef430e960e695403b5d9c8dcc11b9f5d62be ] 'struct xdp_umem_reg' has 4 bytes of padding at the end that makes valgrind complain about passing uninitialized stack memory to the syscall: Syscall param socketcall.setsockopt() points to uninitialised byte(s) at 0x4E7AB7E: setsockopt (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.29.so) by 0x4BDE035: xsk_umem__create@@LIBBPF_0.0.4 (xsk.c:172) Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation at 0x4BDDEBA: xsk_umem__create@@LIBBPF_0.0.4 (xsk.c:140) Padding bytes appeared after introducing of a new 'flags' field. memset() is required to clear them.
