From: Mariusz Kozlowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 20:16:59 +0200 Signed-off-by: Mariusz Kozlowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Applied, but note that this patch changes behavior, previously only the ip_options structure base was cleared out, but now the whole memory region is cleared. I think it's OK for this case, but I'm just making note of it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Feel free to drop it if you think its not worth it :-) Thanks, Mariusz - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
