Subject: mm: fs: initialize fsdata passed to write_begin/write_end interface
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 17:04:16 +0200
Functions implementing the a_ops->write_end() interface accept the `void
*fsdata` parameter that is supposed to be initialized by the corresponding
a_ops->write_begin() (which accepts `void **fsdata`).
However not all a_ops->write_begin() implementations initialize `fsdata`
unconditionally, so it may get passed uninitialized to a_ops->write_end(),
resulting in undefined behavior.
Fix this by initializing fsdata with NULL before the call to
write_begin(), rather than doing so in all possible a_ops implementations.
This patch covers only the following cases found by running x86 KMSAN
under syzkaller:
- generic_perform_write()
- cont_expand_zero() and generic_cont_expand_simple()
- page_symlink()
Other cases of passing uninitialized fsdata may persist in the codebase.
