From 4d608baac5f4e72b033a122b2d6d9499532c3afc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2017 15:06:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block: Initialize cfqq->ioprio_class in cfq_get_queue() KMSAN (KernelMemorySanitizer, a new error detection tool) reports use of uninitialized memory in cfq_init_cfqq(): ================================================================== BUG: KMSAN: use of unitialized memory ...
