This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled affs: initialize fsdata in affs_truncate() to the 5.10-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: affs-initialize-fsdata-in-affs_truncate.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c94f13691b0983a2b24feefeaa91935108e327ea Author: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 10 13:49:30 2023 +0100 affs: initialize fsdata in affs_truncate() [ Upstream commit eef034ac6690118c88f357b00e2b3239c9d8575d ] When aops->write_begin() does not initialize fsdata, KMSAN may report an error passing the latter to aops->write_end(). Fix this by unconditionally initializing fsdata.
