[PATCH 4.19 44/86] fat: fix uninit-memory access for partial initialized inode

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 10 2020 - 09:13:12 EST


From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit bc87302a093f0eab45cd4e250c2021299f712ec6 upstream.

When get an error in the middle of reading an inode, some fields in the
inode might be still not initialized. And then the evict_inode path may
access those fields via iput().

To fix, this makes sure that inode fields are initialized.
