[v2] virtio-net: zero unused hash fields

[PATCH net V2] virtio-net: zero unused hash fields

Posted by Jason Wang 3 months, 2 weeks ago

When GSO tunnel is negotiated virtio_net_hdr_tnl_from_skb() tries to
initialize the tunnel metadata but forget to zero unused rxhash
fields. This may leak information to another side. Fixing this by
zeroing the unused hash fields.
