Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: initialise the itag variable in __mkroute_input
Date: Thu, 22 May 2014 16:36:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1400747815-3470-1-git-send-email-roy.qing.li@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@gmail.com>

the value of itag is a random value from stack, and may not be initiated by
fib_validate_source, which called fib_combine_itag if CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_CLASSID
is not set

This will make the cached dst uncertainty
