Subject: [PATCH, 3.18-stable regression] gadgetfs: fix uninitialized variable in error handling
Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2017 15:06:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170421130623.2668561-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
gcc warns about a bug in 3.18.y:
drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/inode.c:648:10: warning: 'value' may be used
This is caused by the backport of f01d35a15fa0416 from 4.0 to 3.18:
c81fc59be42c6e0 gadgetfs: use-after-free in ->aio_read()
The backported patch was buggy, but the mainline code was rewritten
in a larger patch directly following this one in a way that fixed the
bug.
For stable, we should need only a one-line change to make sure we
return an proper error code. It is very unlikely that anybody ever
ran into the out-of-memory case here in practice, but the compiler
is right in theory.
Fixes: c81fc59be42c ("gadgetfs: use-after-free in ->aio_read()")
