From 7082c5c3f2407c52022507ffaf644dbbab97a883 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2016 10:08:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: zero ca_priv area when switching cc algorithms We need to zero out the private data area when application switches connection to different algorithm (TCP_CONGESTION setsockopt). When congestion ops get assigned at connect time everything is already zeroed because sk_alloc uses GFP_ZERO flag. But in the setsockopt case this contains whatever previous cc placed there.
