[merged mm-stable] mm-fs-initialize-fsdata-passed-to-write_begin-write_end-interface.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: fs: initialize fsdata passed to write_begin/write_end interface
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-fs-initialize-fsdata-passed-to-write_begin-write_end-interface.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: fs: initialize fsdata passed to write_begin/write_end interface
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 17:04:16 +0200

Functions implementing the a_ops->write_end() interface accept the `void
*fsdata` parameter that is supposed to be initialized by the corresponding
a_ops->write_begin() (which accepts `void **fsdata`).

However not all a_ops->write_begin() implementations initialize `fsdata`
unconditionally, so it may get passed uninitialized to a_ops->write_end(),
resulting in undefined behavior.

Fix this by initializing fsdata with NULL before the call to
write_begin(), rather than doing so in all possible a_ops implementations.

This patch covers only the following cases found by running x86 KMSAN
under syzkaller:

 - generic_perform_write()
 - cont_expand_zero() and generic_cont_expand_simple()
 - page_symlink()

Other cases of passing uninitialized fsdata may persist in the codebase.
