This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ALSA: line6: Zero-initialize message buffers to the 5.4-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: alsa-line6-zero-initialize-message-buffers.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9f12510524a9176bdfe1bd357d3358f744638d75 Author: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 2 08:36:25 2024 +0200 ALSA: line6: Zero-initialize message buffers [ Upstream commit c4e51e424e2c772ce1836912a8b0b87cd61bc9d5 ] For shutting up spurious KMSAN uninit-value warnings, just replace kmalloc() calls with kzalloc() for the buffers used for communications. There should be no real issue with the original code, but it's still better to cover.
