[PATCH] ocfs2: zero-initialize recovery bitmap to prevent uninit-value in find_next_bit
From: Daniel Hodges
Date: Mon Feb 09 2026 - 11:14:53 EST
ocfs2_add_recovery_chunk() allocates a bitmap buffer of sb->s_blocksize
bytes using kmalloc() but only copies (ol_chunk_entries(sb) + 7) >> 3
bytes into it from the on-disk quota chunk. When the number of chunk
entries is not aligned to a long boundary (64 bits on 64-bit systems),
find_next_bit() reads uninitialized memory from the trailing bytes of
the last word in the bitmap.
Fix this by using kzalloc() to zero-initialize the entire bitmap
allocation, ensuring that any bits beyond the copied region are
clean zeros.
