[PATCH net 1/3] net: ethtool: Initialize buffer when querying device channel settings

From: Tariq Toukan <hidden>
Date: 2017-01-17 17:19:56
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Eran Ben Elisha <redacted>

Ethtool channels respond struct was uninitialized when querying device
channel boundaries settings. As a result, unreported fields by the driver
hold garbage.  This may cause sending unsupported params to driver.

Fixes: 8bf368620486 ('ethtool: ensure channel counts are within bounds ...')
