The other two routines initialize in iov_iter_bvec iov->type iov->bvec iov->offset iov->count but iov_iter_discard already does the initialization: iov_type iov_offset iov_count and then we call cifs_readv_from_socket in all 3 which sets: iov->msg_control = NULL iov->msg_controllen = NULL I will set the two additional ones to null iov->msg_name and iov->msg_namelen On Thu, Feb 4, 2021 at 4:29 AM Aurélien Aptel <aaptel@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Steve French <smfrench@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > > +ssize_t > > +cifs_discard_from_socket(struct TCP_Server_Info *server, size_t to_read) > > +{ > > + struct msghdr smb_msg; > > + > > + iov_iter_discard(&smb_msg.msg_iter, READ, to_read); > > + > > + return cifs_readv_from_socket(server, &smb_msg); > > +} > > + > > Shouldn't smb_msg be initialized to zeroes?
