When doing the 4.9 merge into certain Android trees, I noticed a warning
from Android's deprecated GCC 4.9.4, which causes a build failure in
those trees due to basically -Werror:
fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c: In function 'ecryptfs_parse_packet_set':
fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c:1357:2: warning: 'auth_tok_list_item' may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
memset(auth_tok_list_item, 0,
^
fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c:1260:38: note: 'auth_tok_list_item' was declared
here
struct ecryptfs_auth_tok_list_item *auth_tok_list_item;
^
GCC 9.2.0 was not able to pick up this warning when I tested it.
Turns out that Clang warns as well when -Wuninitialized is used, which
is not the case in older stable trees at the moment (but shows value in
potentially backporting the various warning fixes currently in upstream
to get more coverage).
fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c:1284:6: warning: variable 'auth_tok_list_item' is
used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (data[(*packet_size)++] != ECRYPTFS_TAG_1_PACKET_TYPE) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c:1360:4: note: uninitialized use occurs here
auth_tok_list_item);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c:1284:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is
always false
if (data[(*packet_size)++] != ECRYPTFS_TAG_1_PACKET_TYPE) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/ecryptfs/keystore.c:1260:56: note: initialize the variable
'auth_tok_list_item' to silence this warning
struct ecryptfs_auth_tok_list_item *auth_tok_list_item;
^
= NULL
1 warning generated.
Somehow, commit fe2e082f5d ("ecryptfs: fix a memory leak bug in
parse_tag_1_packet()") upstream was not applied in the correct if block
in 4.4.215, 4.9.215, and 4.14.172, which will indeed lead to use of
uninitialized memory. Fix it up by undoing the bad backport in those
trees then reapplying the patch in the proper location.

These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
