[PATCH 4.10 42/62] tcp: memset ca_priv data to 0 properly

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wei Wang <weiwan@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit c1201444075009507a6818de6518e2822b9a87c8 ]

Always zero out ca_priv data in tcp_assign_congestion_control() so that
ca_priv data is cleared out during socket creation.
Also always zero out ca_priv data in tcp_reinit_congestion_control() so
that when cc algorithm is changed, ca_priv data is cleared out as well.
We should still zero out ca_priv data even in TCP_CLOSE state because
user could call connect() on AF_UNSPEC to disconnect the socket and
leave it in TCP_CLOSE state and later call setsockopt() to switch cc
algorithm on this socket.

Fixes: 2b0a8c9ee ("tcp: add CDG congestion control")
