[PATCH 3.10 171/268] fat: fix using uninitialized fields of fat_inode/fsinfo_inode

From: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>
Date: 2017-06-19 19:26:58
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest, vfat/fat/msdos filesystem · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds, OGAWA Hirofumi

From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>

commit c0d0e351285161a515396b7b1ee53ec9ffd97e3c upstream.

Recently fallocate patch was merged and it uses
MSDOS_I(inode)->mmu_private at fat_evict_inode().  However,
fat_inode/fsinfo_inode that was introduced in past didn't initialize
MSDOS_I(inode) properly.

With those combinations, it became the cause of accessing random entry
in FAT area.
