The patch titled
     Subject: mwave: fix info leak in mwave_ioctl()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mwave: fix info leak in mwave_ioctl()

Smatch complains that on 64 bit systems, there is a hole in the
MW_ABILITIES struct between ->component_count and ->component_list[].  It
leaks stack information from the mwave_ioctl() function.

I've added a memset() to initialize the struct to zero.
