[PATCH 1/4] 9p: acl: fix uninitialized iattr access

From: Dominique Martinet
Date: Fri Sep 07 2018 - 12:51:16 EST


From: Dominique Martinet <dominique.martinet@xxxxxx>

iattr is passed to v9fs_vfs_setattr_dotl which does send various
values from iattr over the wire, even if it tells the server to
only look at iattr.ia_valid fields this could leak some stack data.
