[PATCH] drivers: net: xen-netfront: fix array initialization bug

From: Vincenzo Maffione
Date: Sat Apr 12 2014 - 05:57:34 EST


This patch fixes the initialization of an array used in the TX
datapath that was mistakenly initialized together with the
RX datapath arrays. An out of range array access could happen
when RX and TX rings had different sizes.
