fs: generic_block_bmap(): initialize all of the fields in the temp bh KMSAN (KernelMemorySanitizer, a new error detection tool) reports the use of uninitialized memory in ext4_update_bh_state(): ================================================================== BUG: KMSAN: use of unitialized memory CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G B 4.8.0-rc6+ #597 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 0000000000000282 ffff88003cc96f68 ffffffff81f30856 0000003000000008 ffff88003cc96f78 0000000000000096 ffffffff8169742a ffff88003cc96ff8 ffffffff812fc1fc 0000000000000008 ffff88003a1980e8 0000000100000000 Call Trace: [< inline >] __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:15 [<ffffffff81f30856>] dump_stack+0xa6/0xc0 lib/dump_stack.c:51 [<ffffffff812fc1fc>] kmsan_report+0x1ec/0x300 mm/kmsan/kmsan.c:?

Along the way tmp.b_page is never initialized before ext4_update_bh_state() checks its value. [ Use the approach suggested by Kees Cook of initializing the whole bh structure.] Signed-off-by: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
