SubjectRe: [PATCH] ocfs2: quota_local: fix possible uninitialized-variable access in ocfs2_local_read_info()
From
Date
Thanks for the efforts.
For the issue you mentioned, I'd like just initialized
oinfo->dqi_gqinode as NULL before calling ocfs2_global_read_info().
But it seems still have other issues here such as dqi_gqlock.
We need take care all those initialized in ocfs2_global_read_info()
carefully.

Thanks,
Joseph
