Subject: ocfs2: use kzalloc for quota recovery bitmap allocation
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 13:10:48 +0000

ocfs2 quota recovery allocates a bitmap buffer with kmalloc and does not
fully initialize it.  This can lead to use of uninitialized bits during
quota recovery from a corrupted filesystem image.

Use kzalloc instead to ensure the bitmap is zero-initialized.
