Bytes 112-115 of 188 are uninitialized
Memory access of size 188 starts at ffff88802fc262bc
This is caused by the struct xfs_log_dinode not having the di_crc
field initialised. Log recovery never uses this field (it is only
present these days for on-disk format compatibility reasons) and so
it's value is never checked so nothing in XFS has caught this.
Further, none of the uninitialised memory access warning tools have
caught this (despite catching other uninit memory accesses in the
struct xfs_log_dinode back in 2017!) until recently. Alexander
annotated the XFS code to get the dump of the actual bytes that were
detected as uninitialised, and from that report it took me about 30s
to realise what the issue was.
The issue was introduced back in 2016 and every inode that is logged
fails to initialise this field. This is no actual bad behaviour
caused by this issue - I find it hard to even classify it as a
bug...
