Subject: [Patch net] addrconf: always initialize sysctl table data
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 10:55:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450724145-4777-1-git-send-email-xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> (raw)

When sysctl performs restrict writes, it allows to write from
a middle position of a sysctl file, which requires us to initialize
the table data before calling proc_dostring() for the write case.

Fixes: 3d1bec99320d ("ipv6: introduce secret_stable to ipv6_devconf")
