Subject: [PATCH] block: Initialize cfqq->ioprio_class in cfq_get_queue()
Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2017 15:06:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170123140643.32805-1-glider@google.com> (raw)

KMSAN (KernelMemorySanitizer, a new error detection tool) reports use of
uninitialized memory in cfq_init_cfqq():

BUG: KMSAN: use of unitialized memory

==================================================================
(the line numbers are relative to 4.8-rc6, but the bug persists
upstream)

The uninitialized struct cfq_queue is created by kmem_cache_alloc_node()
and then passed to cfq_init_cfqq(), which accesses cfqq->ioprio_class
before it's initialized.
