[PATCH] 9p: Transport error uninitialized

[PATCH] 9p: Transport error uninitialized

[Lu Shuaibing]

The p9_tag_alloc() does not initialize the transport error t_err field.
The struct p9_req_t *req is allocated and stored in a struct p9_client
variable. The field t_err is never initialized before p9_conn_cancel()
checks its value.

KUMSAN(KernelUninitializedMemorySantizer, a new error detection tool)
reports this bug.

Looks good to me, will queue it up for -next after I've had time to run
some tests - probably early next week.

This made me realize that this refcount_set is too late, it is possible
in theory to find the request with p9_tag_lookup as soon as the tag
alloc worked so both this req->t_err and refcount initialization should
go before the idr chunk with the other field initializations.

I also checked by the way that no other fields were forgotten, the only
field that is not initialized now is ->aux, but that field is never used
so it might be just as fast to remove the field instead...
I'll submit a couple of patches to move these two inits up and remove
the aux field when I find time.


Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. The kumsan tool finds only one field is used
initialized. The ->aux field could

be replaced.
