rds: Prevent kernel-infoleak in rds_notify_queue_get()
rds_notify_queue_get() is potentially copying uninitialized kernel stack memory to userspace since the compiler may leave a 4-byte hole at the end of `cmsg`. In 2016 we tried to fix this issue by doing `= { 0 };` on `cmsg`, which unfortunately does not always initialize that 4-byte hole. Fix it by using memset() instead. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: f037590fff30 ("rds: fix a leak of kernel memory") Fixes: bdbe6fbc6a2f ("RDS: recv.c") Suggested-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Peilin Ye <yepeilin.cs@gmail.com> Acked-by: Santosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
