This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled libceph: add an ONSTACK initializer for oids to the 4.7-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: libceph-add-an-onstack-initializer-for-oids.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.7 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 281dbe5db81c6137def9757e07a7aea14b1ed86e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 15:22:35 +0200 Subject: libceph: add an ONSTACK initializer for oids From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxx> commit 281dbe5db81c6137def9757e07a7aea14b1ed86e upstream. An on-stack oid in ceph_ioctl_get_dataloc() is not initialized, resulting in a WARN and a NULL pointer dereference later on. We will have more of these on-stack in the future, so fix it with a convenience macro.
