Subject: [PATCH 1/2] partitions/aix: fix usage of uninitialized lv_info and lvname structures
Date:   Wed, 25 Jul 2018 22:46:28 -0300
Message-Id: <20180726014629.30411-2-mfo@canonical.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180726014629.30411-1-mfo@canonical.com>
References: <20180726014629.30411-1-mfo@canonical.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

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
