4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hannes Reinecke <h...@suse.de>
commit 3e0097499839e0fe3af380410eababe5a47c4cf9 upstream.
When calling SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE ioctl only a half-filled table is
returned; the remaining part will then contain stale kernel memory
information. This patch zeroes out the entire table to avoid this
issue.
