From: Bartlomiej Kubik Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 21:18:08 +0000 (+0100) Subject: fs/ntfs3: Initialize allocated memory before use X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc1~160^2~10 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a8a3ca23bbd9d849308a7921a049330dc6c91398;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git fs/ntfs3: Initialize allocated memory before use KMSAN reports: Multiple uninitialized values detected: - KMSAN: uninit-value in ntfs_read_hdr (3) - KMSAN: uninit-value in bcmp (3) Memory is allocated by __getname(), which is a wrapper for kmem_cache_alloc(). This memory is used before being properly cleared. Change kmem_cache_alloc() to kmem_cache_zalloc() to properly allocate and clear memory before use.
