Thanks for the patch, but I'd prefer us to make sure we catch all cases. Does this work for you? Thanks, Mark. From: Mark McLoughlin <mar...@redhat.com> Subject: [PATCH] net: initialize vnet_hdr in net_tap_init() Don't assume that all tap_open() implementations will set it to zero if VNET_HDR support isn't found. Fixes tap networking on host kernels lacking IFF_VNET_HDR support.
