I think this deserves a Fixes tag as per https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#using-reported-by-tested-by-reviewed-by-suggested-by-and-fixes E.g. Fixes: ce558b0e17f8a ("smb3: Add posix create context for smb3.11 posix mounts") Preferably also with "Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" for applicable backports. oparms.mode appears to be uninitialized in cifs_create_mf_symlink() (#ifdef CONFIG_CIFS_ALLOW_INSECURE_LEGACY) and various other codepaths but isn't currently used further down the call chain... This looks like an accident waiting to happen. Cheers, David
