Subject: [PATCH] pktgen: initialize IP ID field
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 06:22:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ADE8C85.6020809@gmail.com> (raw)

While playing with pktgen, I realized IP ID was not filled and a random value
was taken, possibly leaking 2 bytes of kernel memory.

We can use an increasing ID, this can help diagnostics anyway.
