  [PATCH] fat: Fix using uninitialized fields of fat_inode/fsinfo_inode OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> - 2017-03-08 16:30 +0100

#1595275 — [PATCH] fat: Fix using uninitialized fields of fat_inode/fsinfo_inode

Recently fallocate patch was merged and it uses
MSDOS_I(inode)->mmu_private at fat_evict_inode(). However,
fat_inode/fsinfo_inode that was introduced in past didn't initialize
MSDOS_I(inode) properly.

With those combinations, it became the cause of accessing random entry
in FAT area.
