Subject: [PATCH net 7/8] net: bcmgenet: zero-initialize Transmit Status Block in bcmgenet_add_tsb
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 17:07:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918000732.276506-8-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918000732.276506-1-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com>
bcmgenet_add_tsb() pushes 64 bytes of headroom onto the skb to form the
Transmit Status Block (TSB) but only assigns status->tx_csum_info when
skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. For packets without checksum offload,
or for other fields within struct status_64, the status block contains
uninitialized stack/heap memory from previous skb operations.
Zero-initialize the status block with memset() after pushing headroom.
Fixes: 9a9ba2a4aaaa ("net: bcmgenet: always enable status blocks")
