CVE-2024-53155

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ocfs2: fix uninitialized value in ocfs2_file_read_iter()

Syzbot has reported the following KMSAN splat:

BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in ocfs2_file_read_iter+0x9a4/0xf80 ocfs2_file_read_iter+0x9a4/0xf80 __io_read+0x8d4/0x20f0 io_read+0x3e/0xf0 io_issue_sqe+0x42b/0x22c0 io_wq_submit_work+0xaf9/0xdc0 io_worker_handle_work+0xd13/0x2110 io_wq_worker+0x447/0x1410 ret_from_fork+0x6f/0x90 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30

Since an instance of struct kiocb may be passed from the block layer with private field uninitialized, introduce ocfs2_iocb_init_rw_locked() and use it from where ocfs2_dio_end_io() might take care, i.e. in ocfs2_file_read_iter() and ocfs2_file_write_iter().

Weakness

The product uses or accesses a resource that has not been initialized.
