This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mm: fs: initialize fsdata passed to write_begin/write_end interface to the 5.15-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: mm-fs-initialize-fsdata-passed-to-write_begin-write_end-interface.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 1468c6f4558b1bcd92aa0400f2920f9dc7588402 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 17:04:16 +0200 Subject: mm: fs: initialize fsdata passed to write_begin/write_end interface From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 1468c6f4558b1bcd92aa0400f2920f9dc7588402 upstream. 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.
