Subject: [patch] ipvs: zero usvc and udest
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 09:39:03 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091214223902.GA3784@verge.net.au> (raw)

Make sure that any otherwise uninitialised fields of usvc are zero.

This has been obvserved to cause a problem whereby the port of
fwmark services may end up as a non-zero value which causes
scheduling of a destination server to fail for persisitent services.

As observed by Deon van der Merwe <dvdm@truteq•co.za>.
This fix suggested by Julian Anastasov <ja@ssi•bg>.

For good measure also zero udest.

This bug has been present since the netlink interface to IPVS was
introduced in 2.6.28. I think it is relevant for 2.6.33 as well
as -stable.
