[patch] agp: potential info leak in compat_agpioc_info_wrap()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Fri Sep 23 2011 - 02:19:58 EST


Smatch has a new check for Rosenberg type information leaks where
structs are copied to the user with uninitialized stack data in them.

The agp_info32 struct has a 4 byte hole in it so we need to clear
that before copying it to userspace.

struct agp_info32 {
struct agp_version version; /* 0 0 */

/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

u32 bridge_id; /* 4 4 */
