Subject: ext4: Properly initialize the buffer_head state
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=79ffab34391933ee3b95dac7f25c0478fa2f8f1e;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git

ext4: Properly initialize the buffer_head state

These struct buffer_heads are allocated on the stack (and hence are
initialized with stack garbage).  They are only used to call a
get_blocks() function, so that's mostly OK, but b_state must be
initialized to be 0 so we don't have any unexpected BH_* flags set by
accident, such as BH_Unwritten or BH_Delay.
