From 166a2464cdcf20d4809cc8bb4004241816393a7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2017 17:49:02 +0100 Subject: vfs: fix uninitialized flags in splice_to_pipe() commit 5a81e6a171cdbd1fa8bc1fdd80c23d3d71816fac upstream. Flags (PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET, PIPE_BUF_FLAG_GIFT) could remain on the unused part of the pipe ring buffer. Previously splice_to_pipe() left the flags value alone, which could result in incorrect behavior. Uninitialized flags appears to have been there from the introduction of the splice syscall.
