[PATCH bpf] libbpf: fix passing uninitialized bytes to setsockopt
From: Ilya Maximets
Date: Wed Oct 09 2019 - 11:42:50 EST
'struct xdp_umem_reg' has 4 bytes of padding at the end that makes
valgrind complain about passing uninitialized stack memory to the
syscall:
Syscall param socketcall.setsockopt() points to uninitialised byte(s)
at 0x4E7AB7E: setsockopt (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.29.so)
by 0x4BDE035: xsk_umem__create@@LIBBPF_0.0.4 (xsk.c:172)
Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation
at 0x4BDDEBA: xsk_umem__create@@LIBBPF_0.0.4 (xsk.c:140)
Padding bytes appeared after introducing of a new 'flags' field.
Fixes: 10d30e301732 ("libbpf: add flags to umem config")
