This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: csiostor: Uninitialized data in csio_ln_vnp_read_cbfn() to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-csiostor-uninitialized-data-in-csio_ln_vnp_read.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8d6d48ca2120c9770b9f3d1c6bb11a12b763c7dd Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 6 10:32:43 2021 +0300 scsi: csiostor: Uninitialized data in csio_ln_vnp_read_cbfn() [ Upstream commit f4875d509a0a78ad294a1a538d534b5ba94e685a ] This variable is just a temporary variable, used to do an endian conversion. The problem is that the last byte is not initialized. After the conversion is completely done, the last byte is discarded so it doesn't cause a problem. But static checkers and the KMSan runtime checker can detect the uninitialized read and will complain about it.
