[PATCH net] net/bpfilter: initialize pos in __bpfilter_process_sockopt

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2020-07-30 16:09:10
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

__bpfilter_process_sockopt never initialized the pos variable passed to
the pipe write.  This has been mostly harmless in the past as pipes
ignore the offset, but the switch to kernel_write no verified the
position, which can lead to a failure depending on the exact stack
initialization patter.  Initialize the variable to zero to make
rw_verify_area happy.
