Ranganath V N d1dbbbe839 net: sched: act_ife: initialize struct tc_ife to fix KMSAN kernel-infoleak 
[ Upstream commit ce50039be4 ]

Fix a KMSAN kernel-infoleak detected  by the syzbot .

[net?] KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in __skb_datagram_iter

In tcf_ife_dump(), the variable 'opt' was partially initialized using a
designatied initializer. While the padding bytes are reamined
uninitialized. nla_put() copies the entire structure into a
netlink message, these uninitialized bytes leaked to userspace.

Initialize the structure with memset before assigning its fields
to ensure all members and padding are cleared prior to beign copied.

This change silences the KMSAN report and prevents potential information
leaks from the kernel memory.

This fix has been tested and validated by syzbot. This patch closes the
bug reported at the following syzkaller link and ensures no infoleak.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
