4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <m...@canonical.com>
[ Upstream commit 14cb2c8a6c5dae57ee3e2da10fa3db2b9087e39e ]
The if-block that sets a successful return value in aix_partition()
uses 'lvip[].pps_per_lv' and 'n[].name' potentially uninitialized.
For example, if 'numlvs' is zero or alloc_lvn() fails, neither is
initialized, but are used anyway if alloc_pvd() succeeds after it.
So, make the alloc_pvd() call conditional on their initialization.
This has been hit when attaching an apparently corrupted/stressed
AIX LUN, misleading the kernel to pr_warn() invalid data and hang.
[...] partition (null) (11 pp's found) is not contiguous
[...] partition (null) (2 pp's found) is not contiguous
[...] partition (null) (3 pp's found) is not contiguous
[...] partition (null) (64 pp's found) is not contiguous
Fixes: 6ceea22bbbc8 ("partitions: add aix lvm partition support files")
