Subject: IB/core: Clear AH attr variable to prevent garbage data
From: Devesh Sharma <devesh.sharma@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8b0f93d9490653a7b9fc91f3570089132faed1c0 upstream.
During create-ah from userspace, uverbs is sending garbage data in
attr.dmac and attr.vlan_id. This patch sets attr.dmac and
attr.vlan_id to zero.
Fixes: dd5f03beb4f7 ("IB/core: Ethernet L2 attributes in verbs/cm structures")
