> Subject: [PATCH v3] net: fix the way how L4 checksum choice is tested
>
> The API to prepare checksum offloads mistreats L4
> checksum type enum values as self-contained flags.
>
> Turning these flag checks into enum checks causes
> warnings by GCC about possibly uninitialised IPv4
> header pointer. The issue was found to show up in
> the case of GCC versions 4.8.5 and 5.4.0, however,
> it might be the case for a wider variety of other
> versions. Initialise the pointer upon declaration.
> and explain the reason behind this in the comment.
