Subject: [PATCH 7.2.y 5/5] landlock: Work around gcc-16 -Wuninitialized warning
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 09:46:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929134605.3516662-5-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929134605.3516662-1-sashal@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit c4e941bb7654bcbdfb0b6f3341dc2acfdf235c8d ]

gcc has a bug with -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern that produces a
warning for correct code that uses sparse bitfields:

security/landlock/fs.c: In function 'is_access_to_paths_allowed.isra':
security/landlock/fs.c:767:28: error: '_layer_masks_child1' is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]
  767 |         struct layer_masks _layer_masks_child1, _layer_masks_child2;
      |                            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
security/landlock/fs.c:767:28: note: '_layer_masks_child1' declared here
  767 |         struct layer_masks _layer_masks_child1, _layer_masks_child2;
      |                            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
security/landlock/fs.c: In function 'hook_unix_find':
security/landlock/fs.c:1649:28: error: 'layer_masks' is used uninitialized [-Werror=uninitialized]
 1649 |         struct layer_masks layer_masks;
      |                            ^~~~~~~~~~~
security/landlock/fs.c:1649:28: note: 'layer_masks' declared here
 1649 |         struct layer_masks layer_masks;
      |                            ^~~~~~~~~~~

To work around this, change the definition of struct layer_mask to
use an explictit padding field.
