Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next v2 0/2] MCTP sockaddr padding
 check/initialisation fixup

Hi Eugene,

Of the two applications that currently use AF_MCTP:

 - one is already zeroing the sockaddr_mctp
 - the other has a fix for two of the potential sendmsg() & bind()
   calls: https://github.com/CodeConstruct/mctp/commit/072bafe7

Given we have a confined set of applications (and users), and they're
both now compatible with this change:

Acked-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@...econstruct.com.au>

For both patches.

Cheers,


Jeremy
