[PATCH] net/appletalk: Fix kernel memory disclosure

ipddp_route structs contain alignment padding so kernel heap memory is leaked when they are copied to user space in ipddp_ioctl(SIOCFINDIPDDPRT). Change kmalloc() to kzalloc() to clear that memory. Signed-off-by: Vlad Tsyrklevich <v...@tsyrklevich.net> --- drivers/net/appletalk/ipddp.c | 2
