+Subject: [PATCH] libmnl: zero attribute padding
+
+Sergei Trofimovich reports 'uninitialized bytes' warnings from nftables:
+
+Syscall param sendmsg(msg.msg_iov[0]) points to uninitialised byte(s)
+   at 0x55B9EFB: sendmsg (in /lib64/libc-2.25.so)
+   by 0x43E658: mnl_nft_socket_sendmsg (mnl.c:239)
+   by 0x43E658: mnl_batch_talk (mnl.c:254)
+   by 0x407898: nft_netlink (libnftables.c:58)
+   by 0x407898: nft_run (libnftables.c:96)
+   by 0x407CD5: nft_run_cmd_from_buffer (libnftables.c:291)
+   by 0x406EDE: main (main.c:274)
+
+This is harmless, the uninitialized memory is the padding
+that sometimes needs to be inserted between end of an attribute
+and the beginning of the new attribute.
+
+Zero it to silence memory sanitizer output.
