[PATCH 1/5] macvtap: fix uninitialized access on TUNSETIFF

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>
Date: 2014-12-16 13:05:30
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

flags field in ifreq is only 16 bit wide, but
we read it as a 32 bit value.
If userspace doesn't zero-initialize unused fields,
this will lead to failures.
