commit eadd7deca0 upstream.
KMSAN reports uses of uninitialized memory in zlib's longest_match()
called on memory originating from zlib_alloc_workspace().
This issue is known by zlib maintainers and is claimed to be harmless,
but to be on the safe side we'd better initialize the memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
