From: Anant Thazhemadam <anant.thazhemadam@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7ca1db21ef8e0e6725b4d25deed1ca196f7efb28 ] In p9_fd_create_unix, checking is performed to see if the addr (passed as an argument) is NULL or not. However, no check is performed to see if addr is a valid address, i.e., it doesn't entirely consist of only 0's. The initialization of sun_server.sun_path to be equal to this faulty addr value leads to an uninitialized variable, as detected by KMSAN. Checking for this (faulty addr) and returning a negative error number appropriately, resolves this issue.
