Subject: [patch 1/10] fs: libfs buffered write leak fix
Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2007 04:24:24 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070113011208.9449.4985.sendpatchset@linux.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070113011159.9449.4327.sendpatchset@linux.site>
simple_prepare_write and nobh_prepare_write leak uninitialised kernel data.
Fix the former, make a note of the latter. Several other filesystems seem
to be iffy here, too.
