From 4acadda74ff8b949c448c0282765ae747e088c87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Weinberger Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2017 16:21:44 +0200 Subject: ubifs: Don't leak kernel memory to the MTD When UBIFS prepares data structures which will be written to the MTD it ensues that their lengths are multiple of 8. Since it uses kmalloc() the padded bytes are left uninitialized and we leak a few bytes of kernel memory to the MTD. To make sure that all bytes are initialized, let's switch to kzalloc(). Kzalloc() is fine in this case because the buffers are not huge and in the IO path the performance bottleneck is anyway the MTD.
