This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled platform/x86/intel/ifs: Initialize union ifs_status to zero to the 6.6-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: platform-x86-intel-ifs-initialize-union-ifs_status-t.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8aff6b9e7bc7286478b68b3ec9ca62c3cdf52651 Author: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan <sathyanarayanan.kuppuswamy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 30 15:59:30 2024 +0000 platform/x86/intel/ifs: Initialize union ifs_status to zero [ Upstream commit 3114f77e9453daa292ec0906f313a715c69b5943 ] If the IFS scan test exits prematurely due to a timeout before completing a single run, the union ifs_status remains uninitialized, leading to incorrect test status reporting. To prevent this, always initialize the union ifs_status to zero.
