From: Bartlomiej Kubik Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 06:19:33 +0000 (+0800) Subject: fs/ntfs3: Initialize allocated memory before use X-Git-Tag: v6.1.162~21 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a58e29849aef8d26554a982989a2190b49aaf8ed;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git fs/ntfs3: Initialize allocated memory before use [ Upstream commit a8a3ca23bbd9d849308a7921a049330dc6c91398 ] 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.
