[PATCH] net: Initialize all members in skb_gro_remcsum_init()

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Wed Feb 18 2015 - 05:38:17 EST


skb_gro_remcsum_init() initializes the gro_remcsum.delta member only,
leading to compiler warnings about a possibly uninitialized
gro_remcsum.offset member:

drivers/net/vxlan.c: In function âvxlan_gro_receiveâ:
drivers/net/vxlan.c:602: warning: âgrc.offsetâ may be used uninitialized in this function
net/ipv4/fou.c: In function âgue_gro_receiveâ:
net/ipv4/fou.c:262: warning: âgrc.offsetâ may be used uninitialized in this function

While these are harmless for now:
- skb_gro_remcsum_process() sets offset before changing delta,
- skb_gro_remcsum_cleanup() checks if delta is non-zero before
accessing offset,
it's safer to let the initialization function initialize all members.
