3.2.82-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Kangjie Lu <kangji...@gmail.com> commit 5d2be1422e02ccd697ccfcd45c85b4a26e6178e2 upstream. link_info.str is a char array of size 60. Memory after the NULL byte is not initialized. Sending the whole object out can cause a leak. Signed-off-by: Kangjie Lu <k...@gatech.edu> Signed-off-by: David S.
