3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Mikulas Patocka <[email protected]> commit 08d4f7722268755ee34ed1c9e8afee7dfff022bb upstream. This patch fixes kmemcheck warning in switch_names. The function switch_names swaps inline names of two dentries. It swaps full arrays d_iname, no matter how many bytes are really used by the strings. Reading data beyond string ends results in kmemcheck warning. We fix the bug by marking both arrays as fully initialized.
