Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <20170917210712.10804-13-hch@xxxxxx> From: "Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4c1a67bd3606540b9b42caff34a1d5cd94b1cf65 upstream. We must initialize the firstfsb parameter to _bmapi_write so that it doesn't incorrectly treat stack garbage as a restriction on which AGs it can search for free space.
