[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Uninitialized ifname can cause qemu to quit

[Steve Dobbelstein <steved@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Posting an updated version of the patch (fix the #ifdef _WIN32 case, as
well), this time with a signed-off-by line.

Signed-off-by: Steve Dobbelstein <steved@xxxxxxxxxx>

--------------------------

Uninitialized ifname can cause qemu to quit.  If the first character of the
ifname is not \0, qemu will think that the junk in ifname is valid and
will configure /dev/net/tun to use it.  The configuration fails and qemu
exits.
