[PATCH 40/64] net: 802: Use memset_after() to clear struct fields

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2021-07-27 21:06:59
Also in: dri-devel, linux-hardening, linux-kbuild, linux-staging, linux-wireless, lkml, netdev
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memset(), avoid intentionally writing across
neighboring fields.

Use memset_after() so memset() doesn't get confused about writing
beyond the destination member that is intended to be the starting point
of zeroing through the end of the struct.
