Subject: [PATCH net] net: always initialize pagedlen
Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2018 14:21:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181124192116.27941-1-willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>
In ip packet generation, pagedlen is initialized for each skb at the
start of the loop in __ip(6)_append_data, before label alloc_new_skb.
Depending on compiler options, code can be generated that jumps to
this label, triggering use of an an uninitialized variable.
In practice, at -O2, the generated code moves the initialization below
the label. But the code should not rely on that for correctness.
Fixes: 15e36f5b8e98 ("udp: paged allocation with gso")

Noticed when rebasing udp zerocopy. I considered merging as part of
that patchset, but this seemed like it should go to net, even if it
does not trigger in practice.
Merged net with this patch onto net-next with udp zerocopy to verify
that there is no merge conflict.
