From a45e92a599e77ee6a850eabdd0141633fde03915 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerhard Stenzel <gstenzel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 21:34:16 +0200 Subject: vxlan: fix incorrect initializer in union vxlan_addr The first initializer in the following union vxlan_addr ipa = { .sin.sin_addr.s_addr = tip, .sa.sa_family = AF_INET, }; is optimised away by the compiler, due to the second initializer, therefore initialising .sin.sin_addr.s_addr always to 0. This results in netlink messages indicating a L3 miss never contain the missed IP address. This was observed with GCC 4.8 and 4.9. I do not know about previous versions. The problem affects user space programs relying on an IP address being sent as part of a netlink message indicating a L3 miss. Changing .sa.sa_family = AF_INET, to .sin.sin_family = AF_INET, fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: Gerhard Stenzel <gerhard.stenzel@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
