Subject: Re: [PATCH] lib/table: fix table autotest ut crashes in ipv6

Unit test table_autotest results in segmentation fault.
Crash occurs in test_table_lpm_ipv6_combined().

Variable 'nht_pos0' used as array subscript is not initialized
in rte_table_lpm_ipv6_entry_add(). It will not be assigned,
if a rule does not exist.

In such case a junk number or invalid array index might result in
segmentation fault due to array out of bounds when
lpm->nht_users is used with such invalid array index.

Fix is to initialize the variables used for array subscript.

nht_pos_valid is unconditionnally set, no need to initialize.
Just noticed that nht_pos is not initialised to 0 in ipv4 code.

It fixes the segfault I saw, leaving the ack to the maintainer.
