[PATCH v3] gpiolib: cdev: zero padding during conversion to gpioline_info_changed

From: Gabriel Knezek
Date: Mon Jun 21 2021 - 18:29:30 EST


When userspace requests a GPIO v1 line info changed event,
lineinfo_watch_read() populates and returns the gpioline_info_changed
structure. It contains 5 words of padding at the end which are not
initialized before being returned to userspace.

Zero the structure in gpio_v2_line_info_change_to_v1() before populating
its contents.

Fixes: aad955842d1c ("gpiolib: cdev: support GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL and
GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_WATCH_IOCTL")
