vfio/pci: Init the count variable in collecting hot-reset devices (2024-07-10 08:47:46 -0600)
----------------------------------------------------------------
VFIO fix for v6.10
- Recent stable backports are exposing a bug introduced in the v6.10
development cycle where a counter value is uninitialized. This leads
to regressions in userspace drivers like QEMU where where the kernel
might ask for an arbitrary buffer size or return out of memory itself
based on a bogus value. Zero initialize the counter. (Yi Liu)
