From ae0ebdba96674c278674d2b12eedde0681e42f91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2017 18:08:16 +0100 Subject: net: initialize msg.msg_flags in recvfrom [ Upstream commit 9f138fa609c47403374a862a08a41394be53d461 ] KMSAN reports a use of uninitialized memory in put_cmsg() because msg.msg_flags in recvfrom haven't been initialized properly. The flag values don't affect the result on this path, but it's still a good idea to initialize them explicitly. Signed-off-by: Alexander Potapenko Signed-off-by: David S.
