skb_gro_remcsum_init() initializes the gro_remcsum.delta member only,
leading to compiler warnings about a possibly uninitialized
gro_remcsum.offset member:
drivers/net/vxlan.c: In function ‘vxlan_gro_receive’:
drivers/net/vxlan.c:602: warning: ‘grc.offset’ may be used uninitialized in this function
net/ipv4/fou.c: In function ‘gue_gro_receive’:
net/ipv4/fou.c:262: warning: ‘grc.offset’ may be used uninitialized in this function
While these are harmless for now:
- skb_gro_remcsum_process() sets offset before changing delta,
- skb_gro_remcsum_cleanup() checks if delta is non-zero before
accessing offset,
it's safer to let the initialization function initialize all members.
