[PATCH 3/7] ext4: fix leaking uninitialized memory in fast-commit journal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

When space at the end of fast-commit journal blocks is unused, make sure
to zero it out so that uninitialized memory is not leaked to disk.

Fixes: aa75f4d3daae ("ext4: main fast-commit commit path")
