[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] lpm: fix buffer overflow

[Vladimir Medvedkin <vladimir.medvedkin@intel.com>]

This patch fixes buffer overflow reported by ASAN,
please reference https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=819

The rte_lpm6 keeps routing information for control plane purpose
inside the rte_hash table which uses rte_jhash() as a hash function.
From the rte_jhash() documentation: If input key is not aligned to
four byte boundaries or a multiple of four bytes in length,
the memory region just after may be read (but not used in the
computation).
rte_lpm6 uses 17 bytes keys consisting of IPv6 address (16 bytes) +
depth (1 byte).

This patch increases the size of the depth field up to uint32_t
and sets the alignment to 4 bytes.
