[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH net] net/smc: Prevent kernel-infoleak in __smc_diag_dump()

[Peilin Ye]

__smc_diag_dump() is potentially copying uninitialized kernel stack memory
into socket buffers, since the compiler may leave a 4-byte hole near the
beginning of `struct smcd_diag_dmbinfo`. Fix it by initializing `dinfo`
with memset().
