From: "Minghao Chi (CGEL ZTE)" <chi.minghao@zte.com.cn>

On 64-bit systems, struct nci_set_config_param has
an added padding of 7 bytes between struct members
id and len. Even though all struct members are initialized,
the 7-byte hole will contain data from the kernel stack.
This patch zeroes out struct nci_set_config_param before
usage, preventing infoleaks to userspace.

v1->v2:
  -Modify the title.
  -Add explanatory information.

How this info leaks to userspace?


nci_set_config_req() convert to use packed 'struct nci_core_set_config_cmd'

to send data, which does not contain hole.

Why do you ignore the comment about missing report?

You ignored the comment here as well. That's not how a v2 should be
sent...  if you don't agree with comments, we need to keep discussing.
