These line numbers are sort of useless because everyone is on a
different git hash.

This is a separate fix from the rest of the patch. Send it by itself.

This isn't really correct. In many cases status is "len" is less than 4.
I'm slightly surprised that nothing complains about that as an
uninitialized access. But then another problem is that "status" can be
less than "len".

A better fix instead of setting pdata to zero would be to add error
checking in the callers and then change this code to use
usb_control_msg_send/recv(). Probably just initialize "data" in the
callers as well.

A different, less good option would be to, still add error handling in
the callers, but do:

status = usb_control_msg();
if (status < 0)
goto free;
if (status != len) {
status = -EREMOTEIO;
goto free;
}
if (requesttype == 0x01)
memcpy(pdata, pIo_buf, status);

status = 0;
free:
kfree(palloc_buf);
return status;

I will correct this.

Ah, thought to send a patch series.

Sorry, I should explain it clearly. If I did right, watching "status"
with gdb while running syzkaller reproducer, "status" returns from
usb_control_msg() is -71. In which case, *pdata won't be touched in
r8712_usbctrl_vendorreq(). As a result, "data" in
usb_read8()/usb_read16()/usb_read32() will be returned without
initialization. I think that is why kmsan reports:
Local variable data created at:
usb_read8+0x5d/0x130 drivers/staging/rtl8712/usb_ops.c:33
r8712_read8+0xa5/0xd0 drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl8712_io.c:29

I tried something similar which also works fine, but I think this patch
does't fix it at root.
