From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d1fb55592909ea249af70170c7a52e637009564d ] Evidently, when I did this previously, we didn't have more than 10 policies and didn't run into the reallocation path, because it's missing a memset() for the unused policies. Fix that. Fixes: d07dcf9aadd6 ("netlink: add infrastructure to expose policies to userspace") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
