4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Alexander Potapenko <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 9f138fa609c47403374a862a08a41394be53d461 ] KMSAN reports a use of uninitialized memory in put_cmsg() because msg.msg_flags in recvfrom haven't been initialized properly. The flag values don't affect the result on this path, but it's still a good idea to initialize them explicitly. Signed-off-by: Alexander Potapenko <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
