Subject: [PATCH][next][V2] RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix uninitialized struct bit field rsvd1
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 19:24:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210623182437.163801-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The bit field rsvd1 in resp is not being initialized and garbage data
is being copied from the stack back to userspace via the ib_copy_to_udata
call. Fix this by setting the entire struct resp to zero; this will ensure
that further new bit fields in the future will be zero'd too.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: 879740517dab ("RDMA/bnxt_re: Update ABI to pass wqe-mode to user space")
Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

V2: set entire struct resp to zero rather than the new field. Thanks to
    Jason Gunthorpe for suggesting this improved fix.
