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.
