From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> In the unlikely case where ctx->flags & IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL is true and sqd is NULL the pointer tctx is not assigned a valid value and can contain a garbage value when it is dereferenced. Fix this by initializing it to NULL. Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized pointer read") Fixes: 9e30726065ea ("io_uring: ensure IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS works with SQPOLL") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/io_uring.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/io_uring.c b/fs/io_uring.c index 132dd38e89ce..843362bebd8c 100644 --- a/fs/io_uring.c +++ b/fs/io_uring.c @@ -10525,7 +10525,7 @@ static int io_register_iowq_max_workers(struct io_ring_ctx *ctx, void __user *arg) { struct io_sq_data *sqd = NULL; - struct io_uring_task *tctx; + struct io_uring_task *tctx = NULL; __u32 new_count[2]; int i, ret; -- 2.32.0
