From eadd7deca0ad8a83edb2b894d8326c78e78635d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2023 12:32:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: zlib: zero-initialize zlib workspace 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.
