Piotr Zalewski 0696a18a8c bcachefs: memset bounce buffer portion to 0 after key_sort_fix_overlapping
Zero-initialize part of allocated bounce buffer which wasn't touched by
subsequent bch2_key_sort_fix_overlapping to mitigate later uinit-value
use KMSAN bug[1].

After applying the patch reproducer still triggers stack overflow[2] but
it seems unrelated to the uninit-value use warning. After further
investigation it was found that stack overflow occurs because KMSAN adds
too many function calls[3]. Backtrace of where the stack magic number gets
smashed was added as a reply to syzkaller thread[3].

It was confirmed that task's stack magic number gets smashed after the code
path where KSMAN detects uninit-value use is executed, so it can be assumed
that it doesn't contribute in any way to uninit-value use detection.

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.
