Subject: [4.4-stable 12/22] virtio_balloon: prevent uninitialized variable use
Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2018 12:54:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180220115527.1806578-13-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180220115527.1806578-1-arnd@arndb.de>
commit f0bb2d50dfcc519f06f901aac88502be6ff1df2c upstream.
The latest gcc-7.0.1 snapshot reports a new warning:
virtio/virtio_balloon.c: In function 'update_balloon_stats':
virtio/virtio_balloon.c:258:26: error: 'events[2]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
virtio/virtio_balloon.c:260:26: error: 'events[3]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
virtio/virtio_balloon.c:261:56: error: 'events[18]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
virtio/virtio_balloon.c:262:56: error: 'events[17]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
This seems absolutely right, so we should add an extra check to
prevent copying uninitialized stack data into the statistics.
From all I can tell, this has been broken since the statistics code
was originally added in 2.6.34.
Fixes: 9564e138b1f6 ("virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driver (V4)")
