commit 493f3358cb289ccf716c5a14fa5bb52ab75943e5 added:

+       memset(geo, 0, sizeof(*geo));

but unfortunately we're dealing with a cast pointer here, and
the caller may actually have a smaller structure on the stack.
Zeroing out more leads to stack corruption traps:

Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: f87aca93

Pid: 262, comm: xfs_fsr Not tainted 2.6.38-rc6-493f3358cb2+ #1
Call Trace:

[<c12991ac>] ? panic+0x50/0x150
[<c102ed71>] ? __stack_chk_fail+0x10/0x18
[<f87aca93>] ? xfs_ioc_fsgeometry_v1+0x56/0x5d [xfs]

Fix this by zeroing out the structure in the callers, where we know
the actual size.
Thanks for catching this early, and sorry for the misstep.

Hello,

I confirm that this patch DOES FIX the problem I was seeing with xfs_fsr that caused a hit on the stack-protector.

Thanks for your hard work!
